A TMI ? for those suffering from"Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction"...

What positions are working for you during "intimate time?" I'm finding that the standard pregnancy positions are making the SPD worse, but at 31+ weeks I'm too big to do it the "old fashioned way." Any suggestions would be really appreciated; I don't think I can go 8-9 weeks in addition to the 4-6 weeks postpardum without sexy time.

I like spooning, doggies style, and yesterday dh was sitting on the couch and I was on top of him kneeling facing him. I thought it worked pretty good.
You could google to see what you find.
You're right, I don't like that answer.
We tried "doggie" the other night and I've been barely able to walk since (and no DH didn't get a gift from the manhood increasment fairy). It was some pretty tame sex, but the cracking sounds from my pelvis were hot.
*cat noises*
hahha, yeah it's a no go for me it hurts like crazy.
I`m asking here first because ``googling sex`` related anything often ends up in millions of porn sites as suggestions.
I`ll try the kneeling thing though.
Okay, so please don't make fun of me too much..... I guess I could just go ask my girl friends, but I'll just ask you guys!
We have never been able to have sex while spooning (pregnant or not). What are we doing wrong? DH is pretty average size, but it just doesn't reach/work for us.
I can't believe I am really asking this -- but really, how do you do it?
I lean my top half forward more, just our bottom halves are in spooning position really...
I found that doggy style standing (bending over something like a high bed, chair, couch back, etc) works ok. We have a high bed and the other position that works (though it takes some very unsexy adjusting) is propping up pillows so I'm almost in a reclined sitting position. Spooning also works as does this weird cross between spooning and doggie style where I kind of side lay and DH is sort of on top- it's really much harder to describe than it is to get into position.
When I was pregnant with DD the rule was I would get comfortable and DH would just have to figure a way around it- make him get creative! It's the least he can do since most women in that much pain just give up entirely!
I can't give up the sexy moments either! We just layed a bunch of pillows against the headboard last night with DH sitting/leaning back and me on top. It made me feel like I was closer to him without feeling like I was flopping about like a cow :P On top allows for it to be less painful for me too.
The other way that works for us is a scissor type position laying on our sides. Like spooning but the legs are, well, scissor-like if that makes sense. Just trying different ways has been half the fun too!
