Doing too much??

[Amos2009]

Ladies I am so confused as to what to do. I feel absolutely wonderful so I am trying to clean this house before company comes this week. My mom tells me I need to be sitting around taking it easy, but seriously- if something is going to happen, it won't be because I am cleaning house will it???? I'm not scrubbing toilets or bathtubs, just moving clothes from one closet to another, making up beds, etc...
I see my doc tomorrow so it's not like she has told me to rest, but seeing as how I have had two losses, is that what I should be doing??? I would die if something I did caused me to have another mc. Help.....

I know it can be hard knowing what to do after previous losses. Doctors will tell you that it won't make any difference whatsoever if you move things around but my consultant told me not to have sex until 12 week scan just in case. So as long as you aren't doing anything too strenuous then all will be well.

 

[Amos2009]

Thanks Widger....we did make the decision not to have sex til the 12 week scan, plus I am going by the book for every other thing- no caffeine, etc...So I guess I will keep cleaning!

Hun, I would perhaps do a little then put your feet up for a bit, carry on then rest again, just don't go being busy all day and keep hydrated. My consultant said to me absolutely no heavy lifting at all and also told OH that women are designed to be pregnant not to be pregnant and do 1000 things as well!

I clean the house every week and it takes me a good 4-5hrs plus I then do 2+hrs ironing, it takes me all day as I do a job then have a short break but I can't bear to just leave it.

 

[Amos2009]

Thanks Las....I am taking breaks and drinking lots of water, so hopefully everything will be ok. Thanks for the reassurance

Hey hun I didnt know you were pregnant

 

[Amos2009]

Hi Missy! Very newly pregnant and scared to death!! How are you??

 

[Missy86]

I am fine thanks hun, so how has it been going

 

[babytots]

Hey hun like you I have friends coming down to visit this week and have been trying to get the house in to some sort of order and failing miserably. I put a few of the girls clothes away and sorted through the boxes of toys they had and after it all got such bad backache I stopped lol.

Still have a million and one things to do but can do most of it tomorrow and then when df is off work Wednesday he can help out too.

As long as you don't push yourself to do too much then you should be ok. x

 

[Amos2009]

Baby- thanks and good luck getting your house in order too!!

Missy- so far, so good, but I am just 5 weeks so......of course I am worrying!!

 

[Missy86]

Aww I am sure this is your sticky bean sweety xx

We're due the same day! I had to do loads of tidying up today as our landlady's putting this place on the market and the agent was coming to take photos and I found when I overdid it and needed to sit down I would start to feel tight around my midriff and a bit achey muscle wise, especially in the back area so took that as my body's way of telling me to slow down so put my feet up with a glass of water, then did a bit more later on. I would milk it as much as you can and try and get some more help from your OH in the eves and on weekends just whilst you're at this early stage, just so you have no regrets, even though I agree a bit of housework isn't going to cause any damage. If our beanie's are stong they will stick whatever!

Lots of love and congrats,

Thanks Beanie! Are you having any symptoms otherwise? When do you have your first scan?

 

[BeanieBaby]

Just noticed my ticker, didn't realise it had already changed to 5w1d as forgot about the time difference! Still, we're v. close in dates

Am feeling ok, the nausea is kicking in slightly but still quite dilluted, feeling thirsty ALOT, the odd twinge in my boobs but nothing major but most of all I already have a huge pregnancy bloat going on with big muffin tops that weren't previously there! I am not sure how i'm gonna hide this til 12wks, if I get that far! How about you?

Haven't got my scan date yet but have a doc's appointment this Fri so hoping to book something up through him then. Have you got a date for yours?

[Amos2009]

I see my doctor tomorrow. I just feel like something is wrong already. Just like last time- I had symptoms very early on- cramping/pulling/stretching, some nausea and fatigue. And now nothing. Well, my boobs are still sore, but that's all I am so scared.

 

[BeanieBaby]

Oh huni, i'm so sorry, this is such an anxious time. I got my 3+ on the digi this morning and am now panicking as got that last time and it must have been this week that things went wrong as the baby was developing but v. slowly and never got bigger than around 6 wks, even though it was still trying to develop when my mc was confirmed at 9 wks. Re your symptoms I had a similar thing last week as they had tailed off and I kept thinking that I felt more pregnant before I even got my BFP than I did last week but they seem to have picked up again slightly now so it may just be too early.

I hope your appointment with the doc goes well and you manage to get in for an early scan. Keep me updated. Stick beanie, stick!!! Sending you tonnes of

Unless a Dr has told you otherwise I say carry on doing what you've always done, within reason of course.
