I consolidated all my stupid questions into one post!

#1 Let's say you drop something, what is the easiest way to pick it up? If I bend down at the area formerly known as my waist I get winded. Is squatting okay? The other day I just sat on the floor and then I couldn't get back up because the floor hurt my knees so bad! (I was home though and eventually did it)

#2 HOW MANY THINGS can a person drop in a day. When I wasn't this big, I never dropped anything. Now, I am dropping things left and right and sometimes I just leave them. Oh well.

#3 How can I make driving more comfortable? I have my seat all the way back because I am scared of the air bags but that means whenever I have to turn, change lanes or look at an intersection I have to pull myself up to see and its like doing a crunch!

#4 Is anyone still sleeping on their stomach at 32+ weeks? I am comfortable but it makes the baby move like crazy, I know I can't technically squish the baby but obviously something is going on that makes him/her move. So annoying!


ETA another question:
#5 What is with the excessive sweating at night! OMG!!!! I sleep with the A/C blowing on me and I am DRIPPING sweat! This morning, I thought I peed the bed!!!!

#1 - I find the easiet way to pick something up is to squat or to hold onto to something & lean down without bending...more like having your as S go straight up in the air -

#2 - Apparently NOT enough things because I drop pretty much everything I go to pick up.

#3 - My car has the option to move the gas & the brake pedals towards you without having to move your seat back. I just make sure to have a decent amount of room between my belly & the wheel.

I wouldn't change my seating position to the point that you have it. It sounds like you are uncomfortable & sitting too low/back if you have to "crunch" when making a turn. Also your seatbelt should be worn where the top strap is in between your breast & the bottom is underneath your belly. This is the SAFEST way for wearing it.

# 4 - I don't sleep on my belly because its not comfortable for me at this point & I'm pretty sure I read somewhere after a certain amount of weeks, its best to sleep on your sides only - not even your back. I would think if s/he is moving around when you are laying like that - that it means they are not comfortable.

LOL ok thank you for your responses!! And so true about spilling things too! Its ridiculous. I put on a shirt right before mass, and took it off right after so I could wear it again without washing it - no luck, still got it stained right on the belly! LOL What could I have dropped on it?
