For those of you who sit a lot
I usually sit all day at my job and try to get up as much as I can but sometimes it's so busy here I can't leave my desk.
Is this something to be concerned with as far as blood circulation?

Re: For those of you who sit a lot
For my 1st pg, i worked a desk job.
I just kept my legs extended forward under my desk and i didn't cross them. I also kept a small stool under there so towards the end i could elevate them.
There's nothing to worry about, just as your pg goes on excess sitting can put pressure on everything from nerves to causing hemmoroids to ankle swelling.
If you get up even to do a lap of your office or to get some water you are fine
Water drinking and peeing during pg should be enough to keep you moving

This definitely raised a concern for me but what you have stated makes complete sense and certainly put me at ease so thank you

Re: For those of you who sit a lot
The only problem i ever had with sitting all day was the back pain in the third trimester. The only thing that helped that is forcing myself to get up. even when you are THAT busy that you feel you cant get up, put yourself first

Def do it I used to drink water out of a glass instead of big jug at my desk so I would always have to get up to get more from the cooler and pee.
It's good for the brain to get away from your desk sometimes too.
Glad i put your mind at ease too

Re: For those of you who sit a lot
you can go and buy those socks that are tight and go up your calf to your knee.. i forgot the name. they help prevent varicose veins and help with circulation..
I was the opposite of you at my job i was always on my feet, so i used them.

Great, thanks for the suggestion! I will keep my eyes open for them and will ask my doctor tomorrow at my visit, maybe she will know.
