It's a few months. They can deal. </p> <p>FWIW, though, I don't work in a professional office setting. My "desk" is in a small alcove on a hospital patient floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-sit-with-a-low-pregnant-belly#post-2453031 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 21:14:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2453031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamabolt: I was going to say the same thing- sitting on an exercise ball was more comfortable (though not terribly relaxing). Or at home I just laid down on the couch but I assume you are talking about in public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-sit-with-a-low-pregnant-belly#post-2453026 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 20:58:24 +0000 mamabolt 2453026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sat on an exercise ball all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-sit-with-a-low-pregnant-belly#post-2452923 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 17:26:22 +0000 pastemoo 2452923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: good ideas, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-sit-with-a-low-pregnant-belly#post-2452921 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 17:24:41 +0000 MrsSRS 2452921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I either sat tailor style (criss cross applesauce) or put a small hard cushion under me in a regular chair so my thighs were at a slope and less all up in my belly space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-sit-with-a-low-pregnant-belly#post-2452919 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 17:21:18 +0000 pastemoo 2452919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you sit when your baby is riding really low? Last pregnancy baby was way up in my rib cage so this is weird to me. I can't cross my legs, I can't sit most of the usual ways. I feel like I have to sit like a man, balls out, all the time.</p> <p>Is there a product that would help me feel more comfortable? Or is this inevitable? It is just so bizarre, I swear sitting up with my legs straight out should not be uncomfortable.</p> <p>Whine whine, I know, I'm complaining. Thanks for your input! </p>
