Its gotten to that point.

I had to bust out the "really fat" underwear...the "fat" underwear has sufficed for most of this pregnancy. But they are starting to cut off blood supply to my legs.

Joe made me feel better by pointing out that I wore these for the majority of the girls pregnancy...and that I still had the next size up. Considering I'm down to the last few weeks...makes sense that I'd need bigger panties.

I can't wait to get back into all the really cute ones that I bought about 2 weeks before I got pregnant. Should take...a week post-partum or so. This is taking into consideration that:
A. I'm about 8 lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight.
B. I should lose approximately 15-16 lbs in the first 24 hours post-partum.

I LOOOOOOOVE watching the baby weight literally melt off. Wish it was always that easy.

Not to be argumentative, but I've personally know way the fuck too many women with Irish twins whose doctors or mothers or somebody told them "round the clock nurcing is an excellent birth control." Just sayin'.

There's the mini-pill, which has to be taken at the same time everyday, but doesn't mess with milk and is at least a back up.

It works for most women, but you're right, not all. And the key is on demand...not that scheduling thing that some people try.

Oh, and co-sleeping. Having a baby latched onto your boob for most of the night while you sleep really and truly interrupts that whole being fertile thing.
