I dont see why not unless your Doctor has indicated otherwise.
You may want your hubby to take the load out of the dryer for you but other than that why not? Just be careful with whatever you do.

That's actually funny. The Dr. said that is probably what put me into labor with my last one at only 23 wks; it was stopped but she said "No more laundry!"
It's the lifting and bending over you should avoid. Try taking a little out at a time and kneel down instead of bending over - Or you can use it as an excuse to have some one else do it for you ; )

Unless your Dr tells you otherwise go ahead. I was extreamly high risk with my son and from 14 weeks til 26 weeks I wasnt allowed to lift more then 5 pounds. At 26 weeks I was put on strict bedrest. At 28 weeks I was allowed to get up for 5 minutes 4 times a day and allowed to walk up the stairs once and down them once a day. Bedrest sucks so be careful

Sorry about the whole twin thing. :-) Good Luck with that. But you can od laundry. Just fold near the machines and carry only small loads.

No! Women who are pregnant with twins are considered high-risk. I had a miscarriage when i was pregnant with twins

Sure... you can still do lots while rpegnant let alone with twins... besides you'll want to stay active anyways or whatever you gain just might stay!
I wouldnt advise moving furniture or anything tho...

Follow your normal activity level unless you are having a problem with the pregnancy or your doctor tells you otherwise.

yeah, why not??
as long as the laundry basket doesn't weigh over 25 pounds.
oh, and as long as you aren't on bed rest...if you are, then you aren't allowed to do ANYTHING!!! only go to the bathroom...that's it!
