Same for private too actually unless you have some health issue or complication that requires to really rest. Otherwise difficult to get any HL. I have very bad pelvic pain and have difficulties to walk, stand or even wear short/pant to lift a leg up. Gynae says it's normal due to the pressure of baby's weight. Don't sit cross leg or spread your legs wide cos it will make you feel more pain. Sleep with a pillow/bolster in between your legs.
Which trimester are u at ? U can try request from your gynae and explain u need some HL due to pain , or try get some unpaid leave instead
