Can't find comfortable position

I am struggling lately with my desk chair position, I work from home most of the days and some days at my office and I can't seem to find any posture which is comfortable in any way.. I tried different positions but nothing works 100%. Does anybody have a trick or anything that might help my back pain? I'm just 23 weeks .. scared of when I will be 30 and plus...

Get a back rest for your chair. I have one on mine at work and I’ve not had problems with my back so far. I think I would have without it

Im the same, i actually find it more comfortable sitting on the sofa with my feet up or sitting up in bed with my laptop on a pillow and behind me, which i know is not good! But with my legs up i do feel better for some reason. When my belly is hunching over my pelvic area, like when im sat at the office i find it so uncomfortable almost like my stomaches straining sat like that. Also some recommend sitting on an excercise ball, maybe try that at your desk.. Im going to

I find that moving regularly keeps me more comfortable. I’ll do an hour at my desk, sit on the sofa, the dining table then stand up for an hour at the kitchen counter. I also make sure to walk or bike at lunchtime and get plenty of short breaks and fresh air. I feel a lot worse looking at a screen for too long than before pregnancy

I feel like I’m permanently uncomfortable at the moment!
Lay on my side is uncomfortable, sat at a desk or table uncomfortable, sat on the sofa is uncomfortable.
Although I find being in the car okay, if I’m in there for more than 30 mins, I’m uncomfortable afterwards!

Like Grace, I’m most comfortable sat in bed which isn’t good, but sometimes, needs must 😂

I sat on an exercise ball at my desk with my first! Saved me x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.
