Okay! More motivation to not cross those legs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-475655 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:27:50 +0000 tororojo 475655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been doing my best not to cross my legs this whole time because supposedly it causes spider veins...yuck! I have read that on quite a few pregnancy sites so I'm taking it seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-475576 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:11:10 +0000 heffalump 475576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I don't remember, it was so long ago. Probably sometime towards the beginning of my 3rd trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-475512 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:54:02 +0000 shopaholic 475512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: LOL! When do you start sitting on the exercise ball? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-474705 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 07:55:41 +0000 heffalump 474705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I think it really helps! I only had to push for an hour, and my nurse at the hospital said that it's usually 2 hours for the first birth. I give credit to sitting like a man and I would sit on an exercise ball a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-474663 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 04:35:31 +0000 shopaholic 474663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Hmm! Interesting! I have to consciously try not to cross them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-466135 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 09:51:55 +0000 LuLu Mom 466135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to stop and learn to just keep my feet on the floor, not good when I was a sit with one leg under me or legs crossed kind of girl for years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-466134 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 09:50:26 +0000 ladyfingers 466134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I've tried a few times out of habit and they just pop apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-466060 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 08:29:13 +0000 ValentineMommy 466060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 33 weeks and still cross my legs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-466057 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 08:26:03 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 466057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember noticing that I could no longer cross my legs. I pretty sure I simultaneously thought, "Woah, I'm huge." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-466048 Thu, 27 Dec 2012 08:06:50 +0000 heffalump 466048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The teacher at my childbirth class told us not to cross our legs. She said sit like a man, legs apart and very comfy. It will help get the baby in a better position to come out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-465530 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 17:06:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 465530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. I remember at the end I could only sit straight up. And I couldn't even close my legs together. Not very lady like at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-465509 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 16:36:03 +0000 jedeve 465509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 37 and a half weeks and I still cross my legs! It's uncomfortable though, but I hate sitting with both feet on the floor. It makes my back arch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-465505 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 16:34:00 +0000 Smurfette 465505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have noticed the crossing the legs is must more uncomfortable too. Definitely never thought about that too. My Mom and sister were laughing at me the other day cause they said I was starting to waddle. But I don't think that I do it every day or anything, yet anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crossing-those-legs#post-465498 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 16:29:06 +0000 shopaholic 465498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It never occurred to me that this weird little "habit" was something I'd eventually have to drop during pregnancy. Last week at a dinner party, a friend commented she was amazed that I could still cross my legs! No doubt, it's become increasingly uncomfortable, but such an unconscious habit! Actually, sitting any which way these days is uncomfortable for more than a few minutes. Nothing else. Just wanted to share this randumb thought. :)<br /> This, and I think I've started to waddle. *doh* </p>
