Marking hard / office chairs more comfortable?

[RandomCatGenerator]

Hello

I’m 32 weeks pregnant and struggling with very uncomfortable pelvic region. This is made much worse by sitting on a hard chair for work. At home, I work on a dining chair at my dining table. In the office, I’m on an office chair at a desk. Both leave me walking like John Wayne.

I’ve been moving to sit in my armchair or on the sofa or bed to prevent the pain but that’s no good for typing and looks unprofessional in video calls.

Has anyone got a solution to avoid or lessen the pain?

I’ve tried a yoga ball / pregnancy ball but it’s too distracting as it doesn’t stay still.

thanks

I have cocyx pain (a hangover from my first birth) which has become much worse in second pregnancy. I bought a cocyx cushion from Amazon, the brand was 'Lemon Duck' and it's so comfy! Even if it's not a cocyx specific issue for you I'm sure something like that would help. It also raises you up a bit so posture is better too.

The yoga ball takes some getting used to, even a couple of hours at the start of my shift I found made a huge difference. I'm now 37 weeks and on it all day at work. It's stopped the pain in my groin/hip/lower back that was making it really difficult to walk

You can get memory foam cushions for office chairs. Got mine from eBay. You can get both "office seat" ones and "donut" shaped ones. Neither expensive. Hope you find something which helps.

What did you search to find that @CoffeeBeansGalore?

@Ged94 how do you stop it wobbling around? I felt it was detracting more value than it added, as my wrist and neck posture were going to hell as I tried to steady myself!

@Spottypineapple great tip - thank you

I searched for memory foam cushion.

This is very similar to the one I have.

Have you maybe got the wrong size, too big or something? I find myself bouncing and rolling a bit but I can also sit still without it being an issue
