s/o positions you can't get into: spooning
I don't know how people get into spooning, side-by-side positions. I have never been able to do it.
I'm getting bigger as I get pregnant, and missionary is no longer comfortable, doggy style can often be too intense, and sometimes I'm too darn tired to get on top. Crazier positions seem laughable. But everyone says "spooning and side-by-side positions are perfect!" I just can't imagine... But I still have a sex drive and would like to make the most of it before my vagina is torn to shreds and the majority of my free time involves sleep.
I don't really have a sex issue - I am still sexually active, I am just curious as to how other people get into these positions. The only way I could see if it was possible is if I had no ass/thigh fat and DH had a 12 inch penis. I mean, he's your run-of-the-mill six inches, the average, and sex is great and possible in other positions.
TMI: his penis can go into the folds of my vulva, but not into the vagina itself.
I also think it must be hard to thrust when you're lying on your side.
Re: s/o positions you can't get into: spooning
I understand how it could be hard. It is a somewhat awkward position. I agree with the above that it works better when it's fallen-over doggie-style rather than true spooning. What helps me is to get a good grip on the edge of the bed or the wall and push back as he thrusts. I also smush my legs together and tense them up to add resistance to scooting. I've never been pregnant, but this is how I've done this position.
Maybe you can try fallen-over WOT? You can push off of the wall with that one, too.
I have heard of pregnant women propping their belly up on pillows during doggie-style... maybe try that?
sorry, that was my lame attempt at humor.
PP: the fallen-over-doggy style position is pretty much the only way we managed, and I was like, well, we're obviously not doing it like the 3D animated people on the sex positions websites, so we're doing it wrong. And then I think, we might as well change positions, or just cuddle/spoon, since that's all we're doing otherwise?
But maybe I'm asking too much out of deep penetration in side positions?

Spooning is actually one of my favorite positions. DH is average size and we don't have any issues, although I don't have much ass so maybe that helps. I usually try to rest my top leg over his thigh to spread my legs a little. I can control the depth by either just relaxing (not very deep) or bracing myself on the bed (deeper). My fav part is that he reaches around with his fingers for some clit action. Gets me every time!
Keep trying. Good luck!
Here's a great idea.
Position yourself on your side. Hang your booty off of the edge of the bed. Have him stand at the edge of the bed. Bring your knees up to your chest a little bit. The leg that you are not laying on can be tucked up closer to you. Have DH hold on to the crook of your elbow that you are not laying on. That will give him a handle and made intercourse a bit easier.
Then he can use his upper body to rhythmically pull you towards him. This is a very excitable position and should be do-able while preggo.
Having never had sex with a preggo woman, I cannot guarantee the results---YMMV.
This position is very enjoyable. We get to examine the facial expressions of each other.
I have a large booty, so no spooning here, LOL.
Pregnant sex is great, though. I did a LOT of doggy style, propped by pillows.
Regarding the large booty...we are bound to get preggo.
Did the side position on the edge of the bed work for you? My DW already has an amazing booty that can only be enhanced by pregnancy. Any ideas?
Have you tried Reverse Cowgirl? Could prove just an intense as doggy style, but it would be more under your control.
