I am only 7wks 4days pregnant, so I don't really see a problem with it yet, but my family jumped my case today for mowing the yard, raking and doing some weed pulling. (BTW, I'm 25, happily married and I live on my own, just FYI)
It was pretty hot today, in the 90's, but I stayed hydrated and used gloves when pulling weeds, making sure to wash really well afterwards to prevent contact with possible toxoplasmosis. They say this is too much for a pregnant woman even if she is only in her first trimester. I plan on hiring someone to do the yardwork for me since my husband is deployed and unable to do it himself, lol, but today was a down to the wire thing. The place I live does yard inspections so I have to have my lawn cut, edged and all the flowerbeds weeded or I get a citation.
I was really tired afterwards, mostly because I was also chasing my toddler around during all this, but it was nothing a nap couldn't fix. So is my family right? Or am I fine as long as I don't feel strained
