Very unlikely: unless you are on bedrest because of something like low fluid or pre eclampsia what you describe is fine. I have many patients working 8 hour jobs where they stand most of the day, who do so until 38 weeks. The most likely issue would be some swelling of your hands and feet. Baby should be fine.
