For most women, yes, especially if you're able to move around some while you're standing.
But if you've been told that you're at high risk for preterm delivery or your baby is measuring small, check with your doctor. Some research has found that being on your feet for long periods can reduce the baby's growth rate and increase the chances of preterm delivery. If you're already at risk for these conditions, you may need to avoid prolonged standing.
If you do need to stand for a long time, it's a good idea to move your legs periodically, by taking a walk or walking in place. This keeps your blood moving, which reduces your risk for blood clots and helps reduce swelling. You might also try wearing support hose. These stockings compress your legs and make them less likely to swell.
As you get into the late second and third trimesters, you might find it helpful to wear a maternity belt. It supports your abdomen and redistributes weight, which can ease the burden on your feet and legs.
