    It's our business so I'm as high up as it gets! I just wanted to know how you other girls have coped.... i'm only 23 and a half weeks pregnant but already feel so so huge.... (my belly is pretty big for 23wks).

    I've got a foot rest, that does help.

    In regards to comfyness how about buying a fit ball and using that to sit on instead?

    One of the girls in my office requested a fit ball that sits inside a base/chair that we bought from Rebel Sport. It worked perfectly for her. She comfortably worked at her desk until 38 weeks.

    Because it sat in a specially designed base it didn't move around.

    I didnt work after i was like 20 weeks preg but while i was on the comp at home i bought a round chair (jeeze its hard to explain... lmao so its probably not much help) Was real padded and oh so comfy (i still have it just dont use it anymore) Anyway it would left you recline abit which helped the growing belly ... I'll do a search and see if i can find what i mean ... Was a life saver for me

    I just lowered my chair until my belly was under the desk and moved the monitor and keyboard forward. Probably not the best of OWHS but worked for me until 38 weeks. I did find that bubs would kick the desk wherever it contacted with her, she wasn't impressed with the squished feeling.
    I agree that you might want to check out those fit balls. Will keep your back straight as well as helping with keeping your pelvic floor muscles working. When they are on the bases then they are quite steady. I was also recommended to use one (which I did at home) to get bubs into a better position (possible breech at one point) and keep her there.
    Good luck with the rest of your pg

    Being nearly 32 weeks I find it easy to sit at my desk - I have a really good chair and a high desk so most of my belly is under the desk. I have a wireless keyboard so I move it quite close and I moved my screen closer as well.
    I find that I have to sit up straight as I can to be comfy but over all no issues as yet.
    However over the next 6 weeks of work that I have left Im in no doubt that I may encounter some issues as my tummy feels like it is growing rapidly dailiy!! Gawd help me in 6 weeks time!!

    Youll be right as rain Ren!!
