How long can a prego be on her feet?

I am 23 weeks pregnant, I also work in retail and I have a 10 hour shift coming my way... Is that too long to be on my feet? I can't have a chair either. What are your thoughts on being on your feet for too long?

It all just depends. I'm a chef, 23 weeks, and I stay on my feet for up to 12 hours a day. But when I feel my feet throbbing I go sit down for at least 5 mins real quickly. Hope your management understands and let's you do the same.

Your employer should let you sit down sometime throughout your day ... I'm 25 weeks working in retail and I can sit down when I feel it's too much
