You will have to deal with back strain from carrying your baby in the womb as your body’s center of gravity changes.

Some doctors recommend not lifting weights, as it can lead to bleeding, premature labor, or a ruptured amniotic sac.

When working with chemicals like cleaning products, remember to wear gloves. Make sure the room is ventilated and try to use safe cleaners like baking soda and vinegar.

Cat feces carry toxoplasmosis, a rare disease. Don’t inhale secondhand smoke that contains more than 4,000 chemicals.

Tasks that require scaling and balancing are not recommended. Don’t climb on stools, stairs, or reach out to grab things from a kitchen loft, shelf, or cupboard. Otherwise you may be agile, but during pregnancy you may not be your usual self and fall off. Ask your maid or close relative to help you clean ceiling fans, windows, mirrors, change light bulbs, electrical accessories for which you can call an electrician.

If you sleep on the floor, ask a family member to help you pick up the mattress, bedspread, and bedding. Folding and picking things up will affect your back. Washing clothes, scrubbing the floor, it all affects the back. Squat down instead of bending over to get things done.

Divide up the household chores. Make household chores safe to get some exercise during pregnancy. Being pregnant is not really a reason to keep your house dirty; but take help. You may want to prepare for your newborn, but you may have complications during pregnancy. Consider your safety.
