being pregnant and lazy

[Twinminator]

as said it just grinds my gears, i suppose in the same way that the benefit system doesnt help those who need it. (im sure a lot of opinions on that one too).

i dont mean to sound rude, but how does what woman chooses to do/not do or how they behave in their pregnancy affect anyone elses in theirs?
we all have different pregnancies and circumstances, as has already been mentioned here.
i respect and admire the ladies who are able to continue working hard, as i do the ladies who cannot, or chose not to. i infact admire any lady who is pregnant, as although it is a huge blessing, as it can be tough both mentally and physically.
unless your health/comfort in pregnancy is being directly affected by someone else's behaviour in theirs, i say live and let live!

I had to put duct tape over my fingers on that one.

I am guilty of working little hours at the moment, which I wouldn't be doing now if I wasn't pregnant.

In August last year I had a miscarriage and didn't cope well at all, going to work was a nightmare. I was making myself ill at just the thought of being at work all day long, especially since there was a woman there who was due at the same time as I was. So one morning I decided that I quit, and never went back. I know that this probably wasn't the right thing to do in some peoples eyes, but I was grieving for my baby and I don't regret it a single bit.

All women are different and I am happy with being lazy and pregnant if that is how you wish to describe it.

From September 09 to now, I have only been working very little hours so I presume that I am under this 'using excuses whilst pregnant' tag, but do you know what? I don't care because I am happy and my baby is healthy x

Sorry for your loss

and no i wouldnt say it was lazy as you still working and doing things you can physically do, your just taking it easier and not pushing yourself to limit.

Thank you.

I do still do things that I can physically do, but I also ask my other half to do things for me too. There are many occasions when I'm sat in the living room freezing and I ask my other half to get my blanket for me, he wants to do things for me. I'm carrying his baby x

It's got to be a wind-up now minky, surely...?

what i dont understand is who has the right to say who is lazy and who is not? and why do people feel the need to have to justify thereselves? Personally i think that some people have way to much time on their hands i had a terrible pregnancy first time round and i wouldnt begrudge anyone if they wanted to be 'lazy' its their lifes they can do whatever they want. None of my business and nobody elses business either!

Well said! I love my KB and I love carrying him in my belly but sometimes it's exhausting work and as OH can't just take him off me for a few hours rest, the least he can do is help my make life a little easier, medical condition or not.
Lord knows I've had to look after him enough times with the dreaded man flu! Imagine if that lasted for 40 weeks!

I'm lost for words at this point For some responses I have had to think before I start going a little

I haven't read all the replies yet but I wanted to add another side to this ... My 1st 2 pregnancies I worked, did everything at home and with the kids. We moved both times I was heavily pregnant and I unpacked EVERYTHING and built all the furniture myself. I was constantly told I was doing too much but I didn't listen and ran full pelt with everything I did.

This time I am not working, well I'm a stay at home mum to a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old. I am mentally and physically exhausted. I WISH I could be on my feet all day running around after the kids, come home clean and have dinner on the table ready for 5pm every night but I can't. I feel like utter shit constantly. I can easily sleep from 9pm - 8am and then be so exhausted by 1.30pm that I need an hour on the sofa. I have SPD too so even walking my daughter to nursery is agonising. I am used to getting up and doing what I want when I want but it is genuinely a physical impossibility at the moment so my hubby has to help.

Please don't think everyone in these kinds of situations are chosing to be lazy, some of us would absolutely love to not have to rely on others to get things done. It is demoralising and depressing to not have full control of what you can do and when.

Oh you must, it's a hoot.

My first full pregnancy I did use it at as an excuse kind of, I was very tired but I certainly took full advantage of hubby making dinner, doing the dishes while I had a little lie down.. I did work full time though.

This time around I wish I could take advantage of it but I am working full time, when I get home my hubby leaves for work which leaves me to get up napping toddler, play with him, make and give him his dinner, play with him or go out for a walk, bath time, story time and bed time then I have dinner clean the kitchen and then bed for me for it all to happen again.

Would love to have a nap or a lazy day.. it sounds like bliss. hubby works sat so I have Euan all day which is great as I miss him midweek but no one to help out and on a sunday its the only day we are off as a family so we do something.

Well i am too posh to push.

And think those who push and yell out in pain should be gagged. How very dare they?
