I'm due in 16 days and I'm still doing all house work without any issues. As long as you aren't having any complications with the pregnancy there's no reason you can't still do house work.

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I clean my house everyday, just like these other ladies said if you get tired take a break that's what I do. It keeps you active and for me it makes feel accomplished.

I'm 7 months and I always clean. I don't use chemicals because you don't want to smell that and just open the windows if you do so it can ventilate better. I always clean the dust and pick up clothes and just tidy everything

Im 9 months and i do everything at my house still. But, instead of it only taking about 2 hours to clean the whole house it takes me about 4. If you start feeling tired or your back/feet start hurting, sit down and drink a glass of water.

You should. unless there is someone who can clean your house for you. Plus its a good exercise. (Try not to lift the heavy stuff though)ask your doctor too.

As long as you feel ok it's good to stay active. Open a window if you're using strong cleaners.  If he won't help when you're too tired or in pain I'd get a temporary maid.

I was told by my OB not to move the sofa to clean & my DH carries the heavy buckets of laundry up/downstairs. He also pitches in anytime but we have 3 pets in the house so there's a lot of cleaning to be done here all the time.  I'll never get a long haired dog again!

I am currently 37w4d and I am still working as a housekeeper full time at a hotel. Just take it easy while your cleaning and if you ever get tired or feeling sore take a break. You'll eventually hit a moment in your pregnancy called the "nesting" period. Where all you want to do is clean. Some women don't go through it but it's not bad to clean.
