Anyone else snoring all of a sudden?

[letitpea]

I dont normally snore unless I've had quite a bit of wine. DH was pleased in my first trimester as my wine related snoring stopped with immediate effect!

However, I have started snoring in the second trimester. I often wake myself up with a big snort! Sleeping only on my side not my back.

Is this a thing? Anything I can do to stop it? Getting little enough sleep as it is with hip agony and general discomfort. I'm 24 + 5.

Yep, this is my second time and I have basically snored and grunted my way through both pregnancies! Oh that and occasional drooling at night too....that's nice. I did google it last time and it seems it's sadly quite common - add it to the list of unnecessary ailments that seem to come with the whole process! Sadly I don't think there's anything you can do about it....the only thing that sometimes helped me was using an extra pillow.

My OH is... Not sure he has the same excuse though!

Propping yourself up with pillows might help both?

Pregnant snorer here too...apparently!

Yeah, I went through a phase of it...it has settled down a bit now though! For me it went hand in hand with being super congested.

I got some of those Breathe Right strips for nights when I felt like it was going to be bad. They're not cheap, but they work quite well.

My husband wears ear plugs in bed. 25+1

Yep, I snored for the last half of my pregnancy I told my DH it was good practice for when the baby was here
Try the sticky strips you put on your nose. Boots own brand are a bit cheaper than the branded ones. Take a little bit of getting used to though. It stopped me snoring but I stopped wearing them after a week or do because they annoyed me.

Not snoring but I have been making odd noises in my sleep since I was about 6 weeks pregnant! Sort of satisfied sighs according to my DH.

Another snorer here. I just started recently according to my DH. I read it's to do with your nasal passages swelling. I have found the breath right straps and propping my head up with more pillows has helped. But the strips are a bit uncomfortable. Failing that I bought my DH some ear plugs

I snored like a pig through all three of my pregnancies, very loud. DP spent a lot of time on the sofa

Yup. Dp has to wear ear plugs. Conveniently this means he also can't hear toddler when she wakes...

Nope, I've always snored like a warthog! Could make for interesting co-sleeping when baby arrives...

Oh yes I snore. I use the breathease strips and it helps.

Mine seems to be worse early morning, from 4am on. Its after I wake up, go back to sleep and the random loud snorts start! Will have a look at the strips.

Don't think it helps that I have also been getting a very dry throat and need to clear my throat a lot too. The joys of pregnancy!
