I have a desk job and sit almost 8 hrs a day. Now in my 5th month im not sure what posture is right, my back feels off by evening. How do u all manage sitting whole day?
Listen, don't stress too much about perfect sitting postures all the time! Just don't cross your legs and use a small cushion behind your lower back to keep comfy.
Make sure you don't sit with your legs hanging for too long as it can cause swelling. Keep a small stool under your feet, it really helped me even post my C-section.
I felt so heavy in my third trimester that sitting comfortably was a struggle. I started using a donut cushion and a footstool, and it made a huge difference to my comfort.
I am always worried if sitting on low sofas or crossing my legs will hurt the baby. Is it really bad? I try to sit straight but my lower back starts aching soon.
Keep your hips and knees at a 90-degree angle and keep your feet flat on the floor. I had pelvic pain issues, so avoiding deep, soft couches really helped me keep my posture right.
My gynac advised that your spine should be aligned properly and shoulders rolled back. Sitting on an ergonomic chair with lumbar support prevents extra pressure on your pelvis.
Always sit straight without slouching and keep your back well-supported. Avoid sitting in one position for more than 30 minutes, stand up and stretch thoda.
