The Prayer of One Unable to Bow and Prostrate

Question
A woman says, 'I am pregnant and in the last month, and I find it difficult to bow and prostrate, and I have varicose veins in my leg. How should my prayer be?'
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If you are unable to prostrate, you pray while sitting and gesture for bowing and prostration, meaning you indicate with your head, and your prostration should be lower than your bowing, and God knows best.
