To burn all bedsheets and sleep in a sleeping bag for ever?

[Starspread]

Changing the sheets the other day, and bundled off the sheet that's part of the foam mattress topper, and washed it. Also tumble dried it (I am a fool); haven't done that before.

Went to put it back on and after half an hour of wrestling with it, one corner on then another popped off, tie it down using the 'real' bed sheet with no effect, sit on one corner and fling myself at the next, I rationally decided I must have shrunk it and came up with an alternative plan.

Okay no I didn't, I sat on the end of the bed and collapsed in floods of tears and had to call for DP to come and rescue me and change the sheets for me.

Why yes, I am heavily pregnant, how on earth did you guess? All I want is a comfy bed and now it's even less comfy than it was before weeps

So, AIBU to decide that all bed sheets are basically monstrous and to concoct some sort of sleeping-bag-only lifestyle from now on?

(Mostly sarcastic... Mostly)

Oh no. You poor soul. You did make me laugh though

How long left?

You can buy double seeping bags for you and OH :) get the LO a sleep sack too and you can be a family of caterpillars.

Technically I'm now full term (hence my VERY STRONG FEELINGS about everything, comfy beds included).

Can't imagine that has anything to do with anything, though. Weeping over bedsheets is perfectly normal behaviour.

Bed sheets are cunts.

But if you're heavily pregnant there's a chance you'll get wedged in a sleeping bag.

Just saying...

If I get wedged in a sleeping bag I can only hope DP would film it, for the sheer comedy value.

YABU. Use a bin bag instead, princess.

During the last few weeks of pregnancy with DS2, DH had to take over all bed changing duties, after more than one occasion where I was reduced to either hysterical sobbing or hysterical rage by poorly fitting sheets. Pregnancy and bedsheets do not mix well...

Changing the bedding can almost reduce me to tears too, wrestling with duvets, fitted sheets and a ridiculously heavy mattress, and I haven't been pregnant for nearly 30 years! It's a horrid job and I think your DH should have been dragooned into doing it ages ago.

Hope all goes well with the impending birth and you get let off bed duties for many many months into the future.

The double sleeping bag for yourself!

DH insisted on a new queen size duvet the winter I was heavily pregnant as the king size couldn't cope with covering me, bump, full body pillow and him. I didn't appreciate, it was too warm and too big to stick limbs out for temperature control.

When I was heavily pregnant my husband came home to find me sobbing while attempting to get the waterproof sheet (homebirth) to stay on the corners of the mattress. I'd only gone and bought a double instead of a kingsize.
I went into labour about two hours later if that helps.
