Snoring

[Moonlightflowers]

I am 38 weeks + 5 days pregnant and annoyingly snoring badly. This is causing lots of problems for the last month with myfiances sleep which I feel terrible about! we've pretty much taken turns sleeping on the sofa but I find it extremely uncomfortable, the last time even had a scary sleep paralysis episode when I woke being unable to breathe. Not sure if this was related to sleeping on the sofa but more likely caused by anxiety or something but anyway tonight I'm on the sofa again

My partners been moaning understandably about the fact I've been keeping him awake, he works a physical job wit tool's and is in fact on a roof in the morning and struggled sleeping last night on the sofa after I work him again with my snoring.

He has just woke me now with his groans of dissatisfaction at my snoring and I had a bit of a moan when I said whats wrong with you to which he replied your snoring is keeping me up again!!!

I have suggested multiple times he orders some earplugs to help the situation whilst I'm snoring atm but he doesn't like the idea.

I am dealing with extremely swollen feet currently and he knows this and how uncomfortable the sofa is for me atm being so pregnant. Is he being unreasonable expecting me to come get on the sofa? I feel like he could have just come down again without waking me since he was the one awake and got on the sofa instead of making me come down. I known it's my fault he's awake which isn't fair on him and I get how stressful if must be because I personally hate hearing people snoring! I just don't know how to cope being so pregnant and and super emotional when I have to come sit down here for the night 🤣😭😭😭

You’re about to give birth and he’s making you sleep on the sofa? Fuck him. He needs to grow the fuck up and get some earplugs. Bet he’ll soon come round to the idea if it means he can sleep through when the baby is here. What a selfish prick.

I hope you have lots of help around you because he sounds like he’s not going to be much use at all if he won’t even let you get a comfortable nights sleep.

Could you maybe get a bed in your baby’s room and then you can sleep in with the baby and leave him to his own devices - will be easier than having him lying there moaning about being woken up while you do all the feeds and nappy changes.

Or better yet get a separate house. He doesn’t sound like a kind man.

I can't sleep with a snorer next to me. Sleep in a different bed imo. If this only came on during your pregnancy then hopefully it'll end soon. There are so many ways to sleep separately on a temporary basis. If not then you and your partner need to consider whether you can sleep in the same bed with one person miserable.

It's no one's fault, just something that happens, and people can be incompatible because of it.

Selfish arse. You should not be sleeping on a couch at 38 weeks.

It is recommended women after 28 weeks sleep on either left or right side as laying on back can increase risk of stillbirth.

We have been advised to let our ladies know about this.

Please sleep in your own bed.

Also at 38 weeks you absolutely should not be on the sofa. Talk to him. I can't imagine being so pregnant and having to sleep on a sofa, snoring or not. He'd better be prepared for several years of unsettled sleep, or he's not ready to be a parent.

You need to buy a fold down bed, I always have one. Now I have a sofa that easily converts to a bed length ways and has storage in for pillows and blankets. Not as great as a bed but will not bend you spine and legs can be straight. I get you should have the bed when pregnant but colds, kids are sick etc you need easy access to decent sleep at times in relationships not in the main bed. Like if I was up all night with baby and husband was up in a hour for work I could get on the sofa bed and not wake him up and same when had problems like when I just damaged my leg. Ok bed is better but sofa sleeping is hard on the body.

Ohh I feel so annoyed at him right now, I will have a work with him about it in the morning and ask him to let me sleep through the night until baby is here, if it continues after pregnancy (never been told I snored before & we've been together 13 years) then I'm happy to come to the sofa as it's normally not bad to sleep on.

I was feeling really guilty on him all this time but I really haven't asked anything of him at all throughout the whole pregnancy so far and the snoring part as incovinient and annoying as it is its really not something I can help. I just wish he was a bit more thoughtful I feels like he doesn't care how hard is is sleep with a fully grown baby in the belly haha or he's just not thinking because he's tired, well see what he says I'm the morning 🤞

You say it’s your fault OP, but that implies you are doing something by choice. Your husband has absolutely no right to give you an ounce of shit for this when you have been carrying BOTH of your baby for 38 weeks, with everything that entails. Seriously fuck this guy.

I hate to say it but this does not bode well for your DH’s parenting skills. Two absolutely critical things you need to do are to function on not enough sleep and more importantly to put someone else’s needs before your own.

Water broke no contractions?

Hi ladies, so last night I went to bed after having some cramping and was woken shortly after at around 12pm with wet undies and slightly wet bed, I got up and changed ect and thought I would try getting back to sleep as the cramping had gone I was unsure what have happened, what felt like a second after I'd got back to sleep I was awake again with the same, slightly wet undies.

I went to the toilet and noticed extremely mildly pink colour in what was going into the toilet but I was unsure if it was to do with my urine as I kept on having the urge to wee.

I called the triage who advised on going in for observations and they confirmed my waters have broke. They have now booked me in for an induction at 11PM TONIGHT!! 🤭😱😳

I'm excited but also very nervous.

I am wondering if this happened to anyone else? My due date is the 18th November and I was hoping and praying for a spontaneous labour but I had still not had any contractions Xxx
