    Sore butt?!

    Is anyone else suffering from a sore butt when they're seated for too long?! While I'm working (so sitting at a desk for hours at a time), my butt aches like I've been riding a bike for hours!! Does anyone else feel this way?

    I'm guessing it's just more relaxin hormones doing their thing but seriously, enough already!! My groin, pelvis and hips are giving me enough grief so can't I just sit for a while without my butt joining the aches and pains party?!

    Vent over but feel free to join me

    I get this too. I've been sitting on a small pillow which helps a little. Also make sure you get up and walk around every so often (or waddle as in my case!).

    Oh Sangie, glad I'm not alone!! I'm sitting on two pillows right now and my butt is still sore! Walking around does help so I must make more of an effort to wander. It's any wonder I'm achieving bugger all on the workfront!

    I have the same problem. I find that if I get up often, I tend to feel a lot better. Ergonomists say that the best position you can be in is different to the one you were in 15 minutes ago. Oh the joys of pregnancy. Hope you find some relief.
