I think the parallel position- on your lap -with nipple side on looks most comfortable too -though would be harder with bigger bubs.

I don't know how dogs make it look so easy - 9 at once OMGosh - poor b*tches and these have sharp teeth.

I am looking forward to it in 5-6 months time. I will follow your progress - I will need all the advice I can get
