> Have you guys considered going to an adult store that caters to married couples (they tend to be more woman-friendly, with less hardcore stuff). They sell things that can make sex play fun and easier. Have you tried a sex wedge? They are really good for taking the pressure of the spine and can tilt her into an angle where you won’t put too much pressure on her belly.

She’ll never get comfortable with it if she avoids it forever. Make it a funny thing, like a game. That will ease some of the performance anxiety. It’s just play. Enjoying each other’s bodies doesn’t always need to be a serious, soul-searching deal.

Nicely “said”.

It’s interesting how we are all so different, isn’t? I was ready for sex in my last trimester practically all the time. At the time my husband then (now ex) was very game, also. Orgasms can be incredibly intense when pregnant.

I don’t know if this is so obvious, but if she keeps her knees together in the doggie position, and you have your knees on the outside, that pretty much takes care of the height issue. The farther out the man’s knees are, the shorter he becomes, and the woman doesn’t have to arch, she can just relax her head/chest on a pillow and with her knees more under her it’s hardly any effort. I think it’s easier than trying to keep knees perched on pillows. Though with the bed lower, being able to stand might be the answer, too.
