Brief Answer:
Usually it does not harm a baby.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Just sitting on a low height chair is not going to harm your baby in second trimester. You need not worry. Just watch for any abnormal pain, discharge or a decrease in baby's movements. If all of these are normal then you need not worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Do take some food and lie on your left hand side. You will be able to feel the baby movements. If you feel three movements in an hour even then it is sufficient.
