Just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks. Everyone at home suddenly wants me to rest and not lift a finger, but i feel fine and bored just sitting. how much housework is ok to do in these early weeks? pls share ur experience.
My MIL kept telling me to rest fully but I'd go mad sitting idle haan. Normal cooking, sweeping slowly was okay for me. I just didn't lift the heavy water buckets or move furniture, that part I handed over.
Don't overthink it, your body will tell you when to slow down. Keep doing light work but no carrying heavy things or standing for hours. If you feel dizzy or cramps, stop and rest immediately.
Light housework is totally fine, I worked and did normal chores till late. Just avoid heavy lifting, climbing stools, and standing too long at one go. Take breaks, sit when tired, that's all.
I'd say be a little careful, I had some early bleeding so my doctor told me to avoid lifting and bending too much. Every pregnancy is different na. Ask your gynac if she has put any restriction for you specifically.
