.... what positions did you use?

Still just about managing missionary at 6 months, but don't think we will much longer! Not finding other positions as effective. Do any other posters have any tips?

im 40+4weeks, and man im still at it w00p , spooning is good, ive even been know to go on top, bump n all

When you get closer to EDD, yourll be looking for all sort of things to get bump moving, and sex is one of the best

emmabemmasmom · 06/05/2009 15:35

Ummm well I am 39 weeks Saturday and still going strong

I find being on top best, and facing away even better as I don't feel as self concious!

I think it is all about experimenting and having a laugh to find what is best for you

Good luck! hehe

VerityClinch · 06/05/2009 15:36

Hmph, haven't done it since 20 week scan revealed placenta totally covering the os and sonographer, midwife and GP all very keen on telling me what a total disaster it could be to get properly jiggy with it.

Hawkmoth · 06/05/2009 16:09

Like in an X position... hard to explain without a picture!

DP lies on side, me on back with legs over his legs (or intertwined) so heels resting on his bum.

Also 6 months, missionary not good for my poor pelvis, and it nearly made me pass out the other day! The 'X-position' or w/e its real, mucky, name is, is excellent, or it was last night anyway .

cocobongo · 06/05/2009 16:13

hee hee, hawkmoth, that sounds complicated but fun! will have to give it a go!

Spoons. we managed it right up to the night before I gave birth.
I managed on top until around 6 months when, due to all the extra weight I was carrying, my hips gave out

bringonthetrumpets · 06/05/2009 16:21

kept at it till the day before ds was born. i couldn't wait to get that baby out of there! i like to think it contributed to the quick labour

doggy-style was our favourite.

cocobongo · 06/05/2009 16:26

ow, mollyroger, that sounds sore! suspect my hips will prob give out soon enough...

might try the ol' doggy style again- did you need any support for your bump, trumpets? can just imagine it jiggling about if we got a bit too energetic!

OP posts:

mollyroger · 06/05/2009 16:31

stick a couple of pillows under your bump while you're jiggling...

Hawkmoth · 06/05/2009 16:32

It is kind of like spoons, but with you on your back. The intertwining legs lets you get closer if, like me, you have a big arse, though spoons works at a certain angle anyway!

sarahken · 06/05/2009 16:50

If anything me and dh have been at it more. For some reason being pregnant makes me more horny. Last few weeks though it has been more from behind like spoons, on top and doggy style rather than the missionary position as not to squash baby. Must admit this last 2 weeks seem more like a military operation and I probably wouldnt be bothering if it wasnt for the fact I want this baby out

StercusAccidit · 06/05/2009 17:01

Right till when DS was born....poor bloke got jumped on every five mins..wasn't huge either so, erm every which way.

Not hard holding any certain position for five mins tho is it

Besides, i'd have done it more if i'd have known how little i'd get afterwards, not due to DS, or postnatal stuff.. more due to DSC's being in bed with us every fucking saturday and sunday morning since DS was born

shellmc · 06/05/2009 17:04

Me and hubby are still at it :-)
il be 38 weeks 2morra, we like trying different positions best ones wev found while iv been preggers is, me on top, doggy-style, me sitting on edge ov bed slightly laid back with cushion support (plenty ov cushions) and hubby kneeling, and the one mentioned by hawkmoth sort of X position is a gud one 2.

alphamummy · 06/05/2009 17:15

On top all the way through for me! missonary stopped being possible about 7ish months!

Plus sex now is the best it has ever been, not quite sure why emtionally more connected?

Anyway good luck!!

chaya5738 · 06/05/2009 17:18

We've been using the X position as recommended by Hawkmoth. That or spoons or doggie.

I don't recommend having your legs too wide apart. I pulled a groin muscle going on top. Y'ouch.

Hawkmoth · 06/05/2009 17:27

I'm glad I'm going home soon

Poor Mr Hawkmoth.

bringonthetrumpets · 07/05/2009 09:52

yeah coco i just piled the pillows under my bump and hips and sort of just leaned on my elbows. mr. trumpets absolutely loved it, lol.

sadly, i can't do it that way whilst not pregnant (the wrong angles and such) so he's mightly bummed about it!
