Did you stop driving?

  I'm 36 weeks and still driving, although it is very uncomfortable so I don't often. I like driving with just a little of my foot on the pedal so that's probably why my belly isn't touching. Have you tried moving your seat back?

  I still have a little room but I'm short with short arms so can't move my seat back more and still reach the pedals and steering wheel.

  I stopped around 29 weeks because I was put on bedrest.  Physically, I probably could have driven until I delivered at 34 weeks.

  
  

  D & L are here at 34 weeks 4 days by vaginal and breech delivery on 11/19/2013

  Two healthy boys weighing 4 lbs 15 ozs and 4 lbs 5 ozs.  Only 6 days in the NICU and getting bigger, stronger and cuter every day!

  I'll probably be screwed in late pregnancy. I have a stick shift car and no space between my hips and ribs, so I expect everything will stick out in front of me. I've already warned DH that he will be my on-call chauffeur.
