    Every which way I try to bend it hurts or is hard to get back up! Sorry I'm no help! Sad

    I pretty much don't. DH loves to watch me put on underwear now, and not in a sexy way.

    I dunno, but I need to figure out how... I'd like to have my toenails painted before I go into L&D at least. But I keep putting it off. I really should do it, b/c unlike packing my bag, that is one thing I highly doubt I'll be doing while in labor. lol

    Haha. Thats awesome. 

    I usually have to spread my legs, lock my knees, and let my belly roll between my legs...I'm sure it looks like pure grace...Wink

    LMAO - I just started to realize I have def. changed my ways when it comes to bending over.  If it is to pick something up I use the one-leg-out-behind-me method and so far it is okay.  Unders/pants I get one leg in and up enough to then lean against my bed to get the other leg in and up and then I can pull them up from there.  I'm glad my students have started to take pity on me anytime I drop anything and pick it up for me!

    I pick and choose what I bend over for now.  I also use my toes to pick things up if I can't or dont want to try and bend

    I'm still okay with the whole squat down to pick something up.  I am assuming that this method will soon cease to exist.

    Um... I don't. I can't. Literally.

    When I try to bend over to put on my socks, LO is in the way and I can't bend far enough anymore. I usually end up contorting my body into some strange position in order to get my socks and shoes on. Thank God for flexibility!!

    I tend to squat, then fall on my butt, and then call out for my husband to help me up off the floor.  I can put on pants/skirts/tights/boots OK, but DH definitely has to help me take them off.  I can't bend that way right now.  :(  lol

    I don't bend. At all. DH trims my toenails for me (that's love), I have only worn regular socks and shoes like twice this whole pregnancy, and anytime I need anything from the floor I squat with my legs spread apart on either side of the bump! I will never take the luxury of bending over for granted again!

    DD has one of those robot claw toys, so thanks to that I am able to elimintate bending, unless I have to bend in order to pick up the claw, then I'm screwed. We got the robot claw at the dollar store, I highly reccomend this, it ranks right up there with the snoogle on my list of pregnancy life savers.
