Related to the hole-in-the-massage-table-story--
Swimming (or just being in the water) was a great way to reduce back pain. My oldest was born in the fall. I was a SAH Army wife so consequently spent a lot of time at the O Club pool that summer with the other LT wives. Older moms said I was going to "boil" the baby in utero but since my OB discounted that, I continued to go to the pool. Anyway, since I had a big tummy and couldn't lay on my front, I was only 1/2 tan. When LT Alum finally got some time off that summer, we headed down to Hilton Head where I promptly dug a hole in the sand each morning to accomodate the big mound so I could get my back-half tan...

We took our boys to a friend's pool yesterday, and I discovered that one inflatable ring and two pool noodles can make a perfect pregancy float! I laid on top of the ring (put my belly in the ring) then put my feet on one pool noodle and my arms & head on the other. I probably looked like a whale floating around on my stomach, but it was wonderful!
