sitting is getting hard

IselaCid · May 2009

The first half of my day is at a desk doing paperwork. It's getting really uncomfortable! I feel like my ribs are being pushed up into my chest. The only way it's remotely comfortable is when Ilean wayyy back...but I just feel silly and have to reach my arms wayyy out to get the keyboard!

Reclining is way uncomfortable for me. I feel like Dwayne Wayne, I turned my chair around and rest my chest on the back. I know I look like a d-bag but it is the only way that is comfy for me.

I totally look like I'm laying in my chair.

I felt the same way!

But now, LO is dropping and sitting on my cervix (thanks little man!) and I am scooted all the way to the front of my desk chair with my legs spread as wide open as I can get them to relieve some of the pressure...

Thank the Lord this is my last week of work...

GL with your current desk chair woes!

I have to giggle at this because I went through the exact same thing when I was at work. I had to lean my chair all the way back and place the keyboard on my lap. It just wasn't comfortable any other way.

Yup, this is me. I found that if I sit very straight and kind of stick my belly out, it helps. I am beginning to understand why women go out on maternity leave early. Sometimes it just hurts too much to sit in a chair.

Ugh, gosh... not looking forward to this part... I already struggle, lol. What to do, what to do... I'll need to think of some sort of solution before I start suffering.

I have to lean far forward with my legs spread for sitting to be comfortable. Either way, not fun.

I feel your pain. My back KILLS and so does my squished liver.

Besides leaning way back, I found another comfy position - sitting at your desk and instead of positioning your legs right in front of you, sit spread-eagle with your feet still touching the floor, like you're straddling. It should feel way more supportive.
