I can get up and have to here and there. I still am so uncomfortable and just sick of being at work. *sigh* I have no real advice. It sucks.

I just trying putting me feet up on the desk as much as I can. I work 2nd shift so I don't normally have to deal with a lot of people. I take breaks from sitting as well by doing some simple streches my phyical therapist taught me. other than that I am DEF ready to leave as well. ugh it gets old fast. GL!

I get up a lot and walk around.  I also prop my feet up on a box of paper.  A little ghetto, but no one can see it, haha. 

I only have 21 more days of actually being at work.  I'm on countdown...

I flipped a garbage can upside down so I can put my feet up. I get up to pee about every 30 minutes, so I walk around a bit. My biggest problem is the heat. I want to buy a little clip fan for my desk b/c I can't take it anymore. ?

My arse has been hurting (maybe the tailbone?)!!  I really need to bring in a pillow.

I do the same; getting up often, trying to involve myself in work so i'm distracted from baby stuff.  On my lunch break I take a short walk which helps me get some energy. i hear you about the discomfort. I am always exhausted b/c i get like 4-5 hours of sleep a night since about week 31.  Today i even bought an ice pack for the sciatica.

I take little walks here and there to help keep the circulation moving. If i sit for too long, my hips and lower back start hurting.

I also stand up and stretch (bend over, twist from side to side, etc). I also try to do some stretches every night at home to help re-align everything.

I get up often to walk around for a few minutes...which I am forced to do anyway with going to the bathroom so often!  I spend a lot of the day sitting up straight on the edge of my chair instead of with my back resting, because if I sit too far back, the baby gets all kinked up in this one spot that hurts.  Today I was in a meeting in the conference room and having trouble breathing (something about the way the chair positioned me, I think), but I didn't want to be rude and get up to stretch, because it was a guest speaker.  It sucked!

I just suffer through it so I'm right there with you. I do get up and walk to the bathroom a lot.

Thanks ladies....I feel a little better knowing Im not alone. I was feeling like a whimp, telling myself to suck it up lol. I hear you on the 4-5 hours sleep and sitting on the edge of the chair. Its the only comfortable position. GL to all of you....TGIF (tomorrow) !!!

I have a box under my desk with a pillow on it to prop my feet up.  I have shortened my work days to 7 hours instead of 8+.  I also get up and walk often.  This helps prevent me from falling asleep.

 Luckily, I only have 10 days (bus days) of work left.
