An electric lawn mower is often superior to a gas model for several reasons. It will be cheaper, easier to maintain and quieter. There is never a need to buy gas and oil and there is no maintenance that need to be performed each season.

The main downfall of the mower would be the inconvenience of the cord. For safety sake, extreme caution should be taken to not run over the cord. By cutting in a particular pattern, it is easy to not run over the cord. For small lawns and people looking for an easy to maintain mower, an electric one may be perfect.

Is it safe to mow grass if you are 32 weeks' pregnant?

You don't have to live in a plastic bubble or baby yourself, but for the first 3 - 4 months you should be very careful about lifting things too heavy. Straining is a no-no. It shouldn't hurt you to mow the lawn as long as you have an electric lawn mower, but gas mowers can be heavy and if the mower hits something or goes on it's side you may just strain yourself. If in doubt, don't do it! Congratulations Marcy
