We dont have a machine so I wash clothes by hand and theres a lot of bending and pressure on kamar. Im in my second trimester now and thoda worried if all this is fine for the baby. Anyone else doing this at home?
Oh, I've been wondering about this too! My MIL keeps telling me not to lift heavy buckets, but what about just hanging clothes? I sometimes feel a bit breathless if I bend too much. Is it okay if I just use the machine?
My doctor actually told me that light chores like washing clothes by hand are generally fine, especially if you're used to it. The main thing is to avoid heavy lifting or prolonged standing that might strain your back or cause dizziness. Using a washing machine is definitely safer.
Haan ji, washing clothes is totally safe, na? Bas heavy-heavy kapde mat uthao aur zyada der tak khade mat raho. If you have a washing machine, use that. Hand wash ke liye, take breaks and sit down if you feel tired. Always listen to your body, bas!
Generally, yes, it's safe. The key is to avoid any activity that involves heavy lifting or causes you to strain or lose balance. So, if it's just regular clothes and you're using a machine, it's fine. Hand washing is okay too, just don't overdo it or use strong chemicals without gloves.
Beti, if you have a washing machine, use it. But if you're hand washing, just don't lift big heavy buckets of wet clothes. And don't stand for too long. Sit down if you need rest. Just take it easy, listen to your body, that's what's important for you and baba.
