I think this is all a bunch of poppy-cock.

I worked in front of a screen the entire time I was pregnant with
my son, and he turned out to be beautiful, healty, and 9 lb. 1 oz.

However, with both of my girsl, i worked mostly staff work during the
pregnancies.  Both were around 6 lb. 13 oz., and both were difficult
deliveries.

I have studied ergonomics for a number of years, and have reviewed
this debate on a number of occassions.  My personal opinion is that
there is no real basis for this argument.
