I sit at my desk almost the whole day for work and lately my legs feel heavy by evening. Heard some sitting positions are not good in pregnancy but no one really told me which ones. Pls share what positions u avoided.
Avoid sitting cross legged for long and dont slouch, it strains the back. Dont sit in one position for hours either, get up and move every now and then. Use a cushion behind your lower back for support.
My prenatal yoga teacher said avoid deep squats and twisting while sitting in later months. Sit upright with back supported. A small walk between long sitting helps circulation, my doc approved that.
Sitting at a desk all day was tough. I set a reminder to stand and stretch every hour, helped my back and swelling. Keep your feet flat or slightly raised, dont dangle them too long.
