SITTING AT THE DESK DURING PREGNANCY: HOW TO ADOPT A GOOD POSTURE?
Pregnancy is always a happy event in a woman's life and for her loved ones. The increase in the size of the belly and the weight of the baby forward very often creates discomfort in many areas. Less efficient breathing, lower back pain and pressure on internal organs are signs of this discomfort. If these inconveniences are unavoidable, here are some tips for sitting at the office during pregnancy.
SITTING AT THE DESK DURING PREGNANCY WITH A LUMBAR CUSHION
To relieve your back and avoid any discomfort, it is best to sit with a small cushion suitable for pregnancy. On this, adjust the height of the chair as well as the workstation well so that you can tilt towards them and to be closer to them. Then, rest your arms and elbows on your desk or chair while relaxing your shoulders. In this case, your buttocks should especially touch the back of the chair. Above all, do not forget to roll up a towel or use a small lumbar cushion in your lower back.
In reality, if your chair swivels or rolls, don't rock, just rotate your body. When you lift, straighten your legs well and always lean forward. Above all, avoid bending over at your waist. To fully relax your body, stretch your back while leaning back. Do this stretch ten times.
SITTING AT THE DESK DURING PREGNANCY WITHOUT A CUSHION

After the fifth month, the song is no longer the same. Heavy belly, pain in the lower middle of the back. Did you know that even without a cushion, you can sit comfortably during your pregnancy? So, to sit comfortably without a cushion, you have to follow certain tips. Sink into the chair and make sure you relax. Next, arch your lower back and stretch as much as possible.
