When did you start having difficulty reaching your toes?

Just that or discomfort at least. I'm 11+4 and can definitely feel the "large grapefruit" and it stops my full range of movement, quite uncomfortable to reach right forward/down.

I'm 29 weeks with twins and i think me attempting to cut my toe nails this morning must have been quite a sight!

As for the bikini line, i've given up.....

Reach my toes? I can't even see my toes! Grin (35 weeks). Putting my socks on involves a lot of manoeuvring and grunting, and has done for the last month or so. And I too gave up on my bikini line weeks ago Grin

36 wks here and can still bend over and touch my toes when standing as you normally would. That's not the prob though, it's getting shoes on/off and trousers etc. started causing ishoos a few wks ago for me, was fine until then :) at this point you can't sit down without bump touching your thighs or sitting akimbo so toes will be least of your worries. All good fun :)

And when I drop something on the floor and know I'm going to have to pick it up it's an effort to stop myself crying! Thank goodness for my 4 yo! Grin

My toes are but a distant memory (but am bloody sure I need a pedicure...). Like other posters, I can't put socks on so have worn flats for the past 10 weeks (am 35 weeks) with no socks. The rare occasions on which I have put on maternity tights has elicited looks of amusement followed by sorrow and slight repulsion by DH and DD (aged 4).

Amandine I know how you feel about dropping things! The odd things is, ever since I stopped being able to pick things up, I have started to drop almost everything I touch!

Oops, I must just be over thinking it!
