Snoring 3rd trimester

[Merrydoula]

Since coming into 3rd trimester my DH has told me snoring is unbearable.

He nudges me in the night when I'm too loud, sometimes he tuts at me and I feel bad because he has work so I move to the sofa. Sofa is quite uncomfortable because I have SPD now, I just want sleep in my comfy bed with pregnancy pillow. Any suggestions on how to combat snoring?

If he's got functional hips send him to the sofa!

Realistically there is rock all you can do about the snoring, and once the baby arrives he's got a whole new set of nocturnal noises to put up with. He needs to either suck it up or look at sleeping elsewhere.

My husband moved a single bed into the nursery because I turned into a bed hogging octopus mid pregnancy. Baby sleeps in our room, so it means if he is having a bad night one of us can still escape and get some sleep

We took turns sleeping elsewhere.

😲 You’re sleeping on the sofa in your condition?

Your DH is an ass mine wouldn’t dream of letting me do that never mind making me feel shamed into it.

I read loads of posts on here connected to DH’s being ‘inconvenienced’ and ‘irritated’ by side effects of pregnancy and women feeling bad about that!

SOD THAT FOR A BUNCH OF MONKEYS 🐵

Pregnancy and it’s side effects aren’t just your problem, just because it’s not happening to his body doesn’t mean he played any less part in bringing this baby into the world or is any less responsible with dealing with the side effects!

I get that he needs to sleep for work and that will still be the case when you have a screaming little bundle next to the bed, so you need to get your heads together and figure out alternative sleeping arrangements.

Him putting it onto you as a problem though and essentially kicking you onto the sofa is completely dispicable though!

I vote that if it's bothering him that much, his best moving to the sofa!

What an earth will he do when your baby arrives? Or does he plan on doing zero helping during night sessions?

My snoring has also become horrific. I moved into the spare room to sleep and he can still hear it from there with the doors closed!

Third trimester and you're on the sofa?!?! Sod that.

I'm only second trimester and my partner has spent some time in spare room on nights where I've wanted to go to bed v early and have been struggling to get a full night's sleep, as he doesn't want to wake me when he comes in later. I imagine in third trimester that will happen more frequently, but I can't see him complaining, and he works full time too.

Can you set up a comfier bed somewhere he can sleep in?

I have no useful advice but just want to say I feel your pain; I can't breathe through my nose at night at all now so must be snoring like a train! Lovely pregnancy congestion...

My snoring has been quite bad, luckily we have a sofa bed in the longer for visitors staying. I am always in bed first so if he can't sleep he just sleeps on the sofa bed but he tries not too as he misses cuddling into me only when my snoring gets unbearable.

OP, either your DH gets some ear plugs or he moves to the sofa.

My DH informed me that I have recently started snoring (I’m 37+5) but he apparently gives me a cuddle and it stops. Still, we’ve talked about sleeping arrangements and he’s fully prepared to move to the sofa bed if need be (we thought I’d have a huge bump by now by apparently not, so we are still comfortable sharing our bed).

I snored terribly in my last pregnancy and hubby moved into the spare room. It stopped as soon as baby was here x

My DH snores, our solution was a mouth guard for him and ear plugs for me, the British snoring and sleep apnea association has lots of advice and a store page with all sorts of things you can try.

I second what previous posters have said though, if anyone should be on the sofa it's him not you!! You're growing a tiny human, it's hard work and comes with some inconvenient side effects!
Could you maybe take the cushions off the sofa to make him up a little bed on the floor if he complains he's too tall for it?
