Sitting comfortably at your desk?

I cannot get comfy, I find myself leaning forward which then becomes very uncomfortable and I have to move back...but then my belly gets in my way of the desk and I end up sitting further back which hurts my back...Grrr, anyone have any tips?

Use a pillow?  I hope you get used to it, for it only gets more uncomfortable

I have a boppy back pillow and it's not helping much, I guess I wasn't expecting the discomfort so early on...I will have to figure something out

I put a small pillow behind me.  I'm looking for a footstool.  maybe those will help you.

I don't know how to make something clicky, but have you seen or tried this?  https://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-Office-Suites-Mesh-Support/dp/B000RHV0BE

I got a different brand for $5 or $6 at CVS.  I stuck a small lumbar pillow between the mesh and my office chair to give it more support.  It works wonders for my lower back-I use it because I am short and my chair is too deep. 

I hope it helps when pregnancy back pain kicks in, too.

Thank you ladies these are great suggestions, I think I will look into a footstool. I have an ottoman but there isn't enough room under my desk for it so I have to use is sitting sideways LOL

A little lumbar pillow helped me when I was pg with DS; that and something to rest  my feet on/elevate my legs.

lol...this is what I was thinking. If your 14-week belly is already hindering you, you've got a loong road ahead.

I have a box that I've been using as a footstool since like week 8. It makes leaning back in my chair more comfortable.
