Probably not, but I can't say for sure.
Those keys are meant to act as a virtual number pad. The reason you are getting numbers instead of letters is because "Number Lock" is on. To toggle…

Having to stand per se does not pose a health risk in pregnancy. If the doctor would have thought full bed rest was necessary she would have said so. Carrying 10 kg boxes should also be fine (if you…
