First trimester here and my MIL keeps telling me to rest, dont lift, dont bend. But honestly sitting idle all day is making me restless. How much of the daily kaam is okay to keep doing?
Yes light chores are totally fine and even good for staying active. Just avoid heavy lifting, climbing on stools and bending too much. I did normal cooking and tidying right through both pregnancies.
In my joint family my MIL made sure I did only light work and skipped the heavy lifting. It was sweet actually. Do the easy stuff and let someone else handle the heavy buckets and shifting furniture.
Mine was a high risk pregnancy so my doctor asked me to avoid strain and heavy work. For a normal pregnancy light chores are fine. But if you are high risk or spotting, please check what your gynac allows.
