I have a desk job and end up sitting 8-9 hrs straight most days. Now that im pregnant (12 weeks) i keep wondering if this is bad for baby. Anyone with a sitting job, how did u manage? a bit worried honestly.
Dont worry too much. Just dont sit in one spot for hours together. Get up, stretch, walk around the house or office. Keep moving gently and it's all okay.
Actually yaar long sitting mainly causes back pain and puffy feet, nothing scary. I work from desk, so I just keep getting up, thoda walk, ankle rotations. Position bhi change karti rehti hoon.
I noticed my legs would get heavy if I sat too long. My doctor okayed light walking and gentle stretches, so I'd move around every hour. Helped with swelling a lot. Check what activity ur doctor allows.
Sitting all day at a desk is my reality too. It can cause swelling, back pain and stiff legs. What helped me, get up every hour, walk a little, keep feet up sometimes. Small breaks make a big difference.
Sitting itself isn't dangerous, but very long hours without moving isn't great, blood circulation suffers. Just dont sit like a statue for hours. Stretch, walk a bit, drink water. Easy to manage.
