Online, you can find many more legitimate standing workstations for sale as well as instructions on how to construct one. While at the office, I am bound to a seat.
Making a conscious effort to get up and move around, whether making a trip to the bathroom or to chat with a coworker every hour or two made a huge difference as to my comfort level. On a similar vein, try to get in at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. Listen to your body and your doctor regarding what activities you can safely do.
If you have access to a pool, swimming is one of the best workouts for pregnant women. Brisk walking is another form of exercise that limits stress on the back and encourages a good pelvic movement that eases sore muscles.
I was quite active before my pregnancy and was able to continue running, biking stationary bike , practicing yoga, weightlifting and doing modified CrossFit workouts through my second trimester and well into the third.
What style of workout I was doing each day was very much impacted by my level of pain—jerky motions should be avoided when you are dealing with back and tailbone pain.
Besides general exercise, there are also specific stretches and exercises that can stabilize and ease stress on the low back and pelvic region.
YouTube is filled with pre-natal yoga videos aimed at relieving such pain and getting the body ready for birth. Poses such as cat-cow, torso twists, bridge and downward-facing dog are a few examples of ones that can help. My midwife also recommended that I assume a squat position several times a day with my low-back pressed flat against the wall. This along with cat-cow pose was particularly helpful for me.
Nobody wants to hear this when pregnant, but indulging every craving is unwise for both you and the baby. Gaining more than what your doctor recommends can increase strain on the lower back and other tissues of the body and compound posture problems. Doing so can also bulk-up your little one, making delivery more challenging. Wearing a maternity back brace can help carry the weight you are supposed to gain. Such maternity support belts take some of the burdens off the low back by lifting the belly and adding a layer of support.
Wearing one can also improve your posture and reduce fatigue. Such slings are most effective when used from the end of the second trimester onward. Proper posture involves sitting upright with your core engaged, feet flat on the ground, the back just slightly curved and the neck straight. Need some help with this? High heels are a big no-no for those dealing with pain in the tailbone. While some days I was more than happy to slip my feet into comfy flats, there have certainly been other times when my ego demanded that I wear the less sensible heels.
Believe me, your back will thank you if you stick to the supportive shoes. You may have adjusted your sitting posture during pregnancy and are sitting more on your sacrum rather than your SIT bones.
This is a common occurrence after pregnancy as the pregnancy backward tilt is maintained after birth, causing the woman to sit on her sacrum which in turn causing or aggravating the tailbone pain. During pregnancy your hormones change and are designed to relax and soften all your muscles and ligaments of your body.
