Cole - Thanks for the info. I can definitely use some of your pointers & DH will be happy about it.

Amber - Love the name! Did they change your due date? I thought we were a couple days apart?

We have our tour of the hospital tonight. Any advice on questions I should ask or things I should look out for?

Heidi--I was drinking a water when I read your post and I almost shot it out my nose from laughing! Any idea when your restrictions will get lifted?

Cole--Thank you sincerely for the advice. It is getting a bit frustrating. For the most part I have just been on top. Normally I love that, but I am starting to get a little self conscious that I am going to squish him We tried all last weekend to figure out a comfortable way for him to be on top, and everything felt ackward. I will try using pillows for support. Good idea! We used to use some different toys, but I guess that the idea just hadn't occured to me that we could do that now? At least it is sort of fun (and funny) trying! It is just so hard to focus on anything sexy when you are preoccupied with not squishing DH or the baby!

Where are all the new girls? Weren't there quite a few BFP's in the last month or two?

Krissy - no problem! If I think of anything else, I'll let you know! I know how you feel... just a few weeks ago, I started on top, but I didn't want to take off my top & have my huge bare belly pushing in DH's face...I just thought it would be a big turn-off for him to have his kid 'right there in his face' while trying to be intimate with me...Of course, DH didn't care & he was more interested in my bigger boobs than thinking about there being anyone in my belly!

Now, I have this weird pain in my heel... I think it has to be from me waddling around & everything not being aligned right. It certainly will make the walk to the train an even longer ordeal than it is already!

Cole, you made me giggle. I'm used to being one of the only people I know who will be that blunt about sex. Good on you for helping a gal out!

Yes ma'am they changed me. (AGAIN!!!) This one seems solid though so we'll go with it.

Yes. We decided on Graham Weston.

SEX! Ok so here's my absolute FAVORITE position and I'm thinking it will continue once I'm bigger because it keeps belly outta the way. Stack a few pillows under your butt. I use 3 but it prolly depends on dh. Then put a couple under your head and make sure your booty is on the very edge and feet are flat on either side of DH(or DH can use your ankles for leverage!). DH can stand on his knees and I guess you can imagine the mechanics from there. Also very fun if you roll on your side, and he stays where he's at. Also works fantastically with toys.

I was LMAO at Cole's post but I ditto everything. A lot of times I slid to the edge of the bed and he stood up.

Cole-I need to take notes from you girl! We just stuck to me on top, which worked since my belly didn't get that big.

Krissy-we just found out from Steph today that Angelbaby had a chemical PGNot sure who the other new girls are though.

Oh, that makes me so sad for her. I hope the other BFP's stick.

Thanks for all your advice, girls! And here I thought no one would answer I have always been very open and experimental when it comes to BDing, but for whatever reason this whole belly situation has just thrown me through a loop! My belly is SO huge already, I can't imagine how much more wierd this is going to be in a month or two!

Hey, quick question for anyone who thinks they can answer. So, I have been feeling really uncomfortable for the last day or two. It feels like I have lots of pressure down low, almost like menstrual cramps, except more of a downward pressure feeling. I would probably be really freaked out, except that I can feel (from the outside) that he is laying really low, so I think he is just pressing against me. Should I be worried, or do you think it is possibly just him?

Krissy- I am a cautious person so I would probably go get it checked out. That's just me. That's why we have insurance right?

Thanks for the advice. I guess your right about insurance, I just hate to go running to the hospital every couple of weeks, especially since I am swamped at work and I know I will be there for HOURS! I think I will just call my doc in the morning and see if they can't put my mind at ease. I would feel terrible if I didn't get something important checked out, but again, I sort of think I would know if this was a big deal and I am not really in a lot of pain, just uncomfortable.

LOL Krissy, it only gets worse with kids.. Do i go, do I not?

__________________

I think that we mostly stuck to doggy style with all 3 twords the end. It worked as far as the mechanics go and then I didnt feel like my belly was that obvious, we also stayed very active until the very end so dont be afraid to keep it up!

Krissy-Glad I made you laugh! I go back next Friday and they should tell me then. I could call and see if the u/s report is in and the nurse said they could tell me if they were lifeted but I figured it's only another week and would really rather at this point just hear it from the OB herself. Then I will have to try and convince DH its ok. He has been leary since the very beginning but I can't imagine continuing without and then waiting again after the baby comes to heal and be able to resume.

Amber-I love the name as well.

__________________

Well, if I had had any questions about whether or not to call the doc, they have been answered. I am still at work, but I called and they said I can come in when I am done at 3:15. I woke up with pretty intense cramps, and then I realized that my stomache was getting very hard. Obviously, these could very well be Braxton Hicks, but my mom went into labor at 25 weeks with me (they stopped it), and my oldest sister went into labor at 27 weeks and ended up having to stay in the hospital until she finally delivered at 32 weeks. So, I have a family history that makes me worry a bit more. Can BH contractions be painful? I always heard the word "uncomfortable". These are definitely not terribly painful (I was still able to teach), but I would also say they are a bit more than uncomfortable. And my lower back hurts, too. I am sort of scared, but the baby is moving all over the place, so at least I know that whatever is happening in there is not effecting him too much yet.

Heidi--DH was also a bit wierd about BDing at the beginning. We barely did anything the first trimester, because after I bled and everything with the "twin", he was sort of freaked out. Now, I think it is the other way around. I feel like a cow, but He doesnt seem to care. I think it is because these new boobs are so distracting! I have noticed differences, though. I normally have a super high sex drive, and lately I don't seem to (probably because I am always tired), but when we do it I think it is Awesome! Maybe because of more blood flow to the area?

Damn, my stomache is doing it again. Hope I can make it until 3:00, I think they are getting worse. I will let you all know what happens.

bugaboo-I agree, get checked asap to be safe. BH are uncomfortable, I would not say they hurt worse as they go on though. You should also make sure you are drinking a ton. BH come on more too if you are getting dehydrated. You should drink a big glass of water quickly, relax sitting down(laying down is better) then see if they go away. Please keep us posted.
