Not Pregnant-women-friendly

I had been working from home and just returned to office for the past 1 week. Though I am dropped off and picked up by my husband from office, end of the day I am tired. The traffic is horrible, as always, it takes more an an hour to just travel 10 km. Worse than traffic is the road condition itself, humps, pot holes and patched road, makes the ride very bumpy. The other concern is the reckless driving by others on the road. 

Let alone the streets, even my office is not pregnant-friendly. My doctor has advised me not to lift or push heavy objects. Every door in the office is so heavy that I have to give my full strength to open the doors.I tailgate the main doors but the doors to rest rooms are the real problem. I am visiting the rest rooms so many times everyday, all the pushing and pulling scares me. The next problem is my office doesn't have a dorm or place to rest. If I feel giddy or wanna relax for a while, only option is to hunt for an empty conference or team room, pull the chairs together and lie on them. And finally there are no leg rest. As I am putting on weight, I sometimes feel the need to stretch my legs. So I have placed some cartons to put my feet on that. It will be great if they provided a stool or something. 

I am coming up with my own adjustments and tricks, but I really wish the company which employs so many girls should adopt an environment friendly for pregnant women. How about your office? Any tips to overcome my discomforts in office?
