I'm not working (I worked up until I moved to California with DH which is when we got married which is when we got pregnant, lol) so compared to pre-pregnancy I am sorta taking it easy, but I definitely keep myself busy. And since my husband is deployed I can't exactly rely on anyone else to take care of the housework/errands that need to get done.

In the past few days my back has been KILLING me (I have a history of back problems so it's expected) to the point where when I walk, I limp severely. So, this weekend I've definitely been taking it easy - but that's mainly because if I'm walking for extended periods of time I literally can't hold back tears! I've been joking with my friends that by the end of the pregnancy I'll need a cane (I'm only 20 weeks now) so I have to start forcing myself to really take it easy.

I'm literally on my feet all day at work, running back and forth around the store, and so when I get home, I'm utterly exhausted, and so yeah, I do take it a bit easy.

I am just taking it normal I guess you could say! I'm a SAHM, so I don't "work" full-time (although I think being a mom is pretty much the same!). I have never really worked out, but I did go hunting this last weekend and hiked around in knee deep snow with a gun on my shoulder! I still do the chores, grocery shopping, cooking, taking care of DS, etc. I haven't really changed much other then staying at home!

By taking it easy, do you mean am I being a lazy sloth woman? The answer is yes! I have been such a bore these past few months. Mostly I have had no energy and can't motivate to do anything. I haven't cooked (gag), I have done minimal cleaning and I certainly haven't decorated for fall. Ifeel some of my energy coming back so it looks like the lazy sloth woman is going away.... For now.

I've never taken it so easy in my life. I used to eat healthy, exercise 3-4x a week, clean, cook & move at a fairly fast pace. Nowadays, I'm so lazy. I move slow and sleep a lot. I can't help it with the occasional headache/migraine and nausea just looming over my head.

I'm not really taking it easy, I'm still doing the same things I was doing pre-pregnancy. My dad freaks out if he sees me carrying a large grocery bag because he thinks pregnant women shouldnt lift a finger. but I think its good for me to stay active

I honestly didnt take it easy very much at all! Yes, there were days where I napped more often then normal, but overall - I worked until the end, I grocery shopped, I even went to a wedding 4 days before I gave birth!! Do what you feel comfortable with, don't do what people expect! Enjoy it because you honestly will be exhausted after the baby arrives!
