I have a desk job and end up sitting at the computer for hours together. First pregnancy so i keep second guessing everything. Is sitting that long stretch okay or should i be getting up often?
I sat at my desk for long hours too, but I made it a rule to get up every hour and walk a little. Sitting 3 hours straight isnt great for swelling and back. Keep your legs moving and a footrest under the desk helps.
I used to worry about this so much during my office days. My gynac reassured me that as long as I take breaks and move around its perfectly okay. So please dont panic, just shift and stretch often.
Sitting itself is fine, just dont stay in one position for too long at a stretch. Take small breaks, stretch your legs, sip water. That keeps the circulation good and prevents stiffness.
