Should i have a talk with my boss?

My job is aware I am pregnant, I work as a pharmacy technician and my job has me standing for 7 plus hours in the day should I be asking for time to sit or should my job be offering me this already?

Standing is fine, I do it for 8 hours + sometimes. If you feel dizzy or lightheaded then I would ask for a chair to sit because that can be dangerous. You could also ask for a chair behind the counter and when you feel the need to sit, it's there for you.

If you feel fine standing then stand it's perfectly fine but if you feel tired ask if you can have a little stool behind the counter to sit on now and then

I think standing and being active is the best thing for pregnancies, unless there are medical problems then a doctor would advise you on what to do.

How far along are you? Probably not though. I know waitresses 9 months pregnant. Most jobs aren't very accommodating.
