Its not unsafe, it is just at the last trimester would be very difficult as many women retain extra fluid if standing for long periods of time so they get swollen feet and it can become painful. Another thing to take into account is getting light headed as the blood pressure may raise or drop. Consult your doctor for better knowledge.

Not normally, unless a doctor has given orders not to because of certain conditions. Like an incompetent cervix (where the cervix isn't strong enough to hold the baby in) or any other conditions where the pregnancy would be compromised.
But if all is well, it would just be extremely tiring. Standing for too long is just as bad as sitting for too long.

According to the American Medical Association, a woman shouldn't spend any more than 4 continuous hours of standing after 28 weeks of pregnancy.

No. Many women work at jobs that they stand for 8 hours or more. You just need to make sure you feel ok, because every one and every pregnancy is different.

Well according to my doctor you should not stand for more than four hours at a time when you are past 24 weeks.

Not unless your doctor has put you on bed rest. Although you might feel crummy after standing a long time it's not dangerous.
