Unless your doctor tells you not to then there is no problem with doing housework.When I was pregnant with my daughter I was still carring laundry baskets full of dirty clothes and mopping our floor a couple days before I had her.I am 33 weeks pregnant right now and still continue to do housework and carry baskets full of dirty and clean clothes up and down about 8 stairs.Plus I still life and carry my daughter who is 12 moths old and weighs 22 pounds.

Unless your doctor tells you not too. and bending(well maybe more like squating) and reaching are a part of everyday life even when your pregnant, just like laundry and dishes. there would be alot of very happy woman out there if no pregnant woman could do anything but sit on the couch. wouldnt that be nice. you just have to keep the activities you do to a low level, nothing too strenuous. just to be sure make sure to ask your doctor.

It depends on the woman and her circumstances with the pregnancy.
I know with mine I was cleaning the house and doing general spring cleaning the day before.
Nesting is a weird and wonderful thing.
My mum said to me "you're going to have the baby in the next day or so" and I did.
It's a built in mechanism with women to have everything ready and prepared.

That is a big No!!!! A pregnant woman shouldn't be doing work like that. Yes it's possible it can induce labor. U need some rest, get some rest and good luck on your bundle of joy. ;-)

It depends on the womens condition. Only the doctor can determine which activities are and arent good.

It's ok to vaccuum. I did the day both my kids were born. They tell you though if you get to be a tidy person the baby is ready to come. I worked up until the day i had both.

It depends on your doctor. My cousin was told my her doctor, since she was at risk for pre term labor, to not do anything except to have mandatory bed rest....
