Office job

Do any of you ladies work at a desk all day while being pregnant? Did you get alot of pressure from sitting to long or did your Dr suggest you on early leave?  I'm currently 4 1/2 months and I sit at a desk but I try to get up every 15 minutes to do a little walking but I'm just so uncomfortable with pressure I went to the E.R the other day and they just told me my baby loves to sit on my bladder...any suggestions??

I'm 36 weeks will be 37 on friday and finally off work. I sit at a desk all day it is very uncomfortable. The best thing I can suggest is put your feet up on your breaks, that helped. Otherwise taking a short walk around the building once an hour ("bathroom break") also helps.

I sit down at a desk all day.  And I had the same problem.  I'm actually just about as far along as you are also!  But I have found that back support to sit up about bit straighter has helped a lot!  I also try and move around as much as I can. So try just a small pillow or something behind your lower back. See if it helps!
