Using Walker after complete bed rest

Question

Asked for Female, 34 Years

Hi Doctor, I'm 34 weeks pregnant and was on complete bed rest for 12 weeks after emergency cervical cerclage in 22nd week of pregnancy. I was not allowed to sit or stand for these 12 weeks. My doctor has now allowed me to walk a bit but my legs and back muscles are very weak now. Can I use walker for my support? Does it put pressure on abdomen? Is it safe for me and baby?
