Snoring!!!!

Ok... as irrational as it may sound... smothering my partner with his own pillow may be my only option!
Every morning between 0230-0330 im woken up by his snoring. It has honestly never bothered me so much before, but being 9 weeks pregnant, even the sound of his breathing is getting to me.
I wake him nicely and ask him if he can change his sleeping position but he just gets a cob on and i end up walking on egg shells when he wakes up.
I think im going to sleep with the kids for the next 8 months.
Please tell im not the only one who feels like this.. i feel like im being over sensitive, but at the same time, he should understand that im a hormonal wreck and the smallest thing is setting me off (emotionally) as i have already told him this and apologised in advance! 😭

Get some decent earplugs. They have saved my marriage. I still have pregnancy insomnia, but at least I don't want to murder my husband.

That is definitely something i will be looking into. The only issue being i still need to be able to hear my 3 and 6 year old from their bedroom.
I think murder is coming out on top at the moment.

Sympathies. Don’t go too nuts on him, though - the tables might be turned in a few months. I snored so badly at the end of my last pregnancy that DH moved into the spare room!

Ive not said anything, ive come on here to rant. Its every little thing. Im just being a hormonal crank. Last night he had some cake and cream and i swear to god, ive never heard someone scrape a bowl like it... it was like he was digging for gold.
Typing this, i realise how petty i sound 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤰🏻

Poor you!

I had a proper ranty thread earlier and I'm not even pregnant. If I was, I fear I'd have actually smothered him.

Does he stop when in a different position? If so I think you have to have a calm chat about how disruptive it is in the middle of the day when he's not asleep, so he understands why you're waking him in the night. It's not ok for him to get the hump when he's keeping you up IMO. But obvs hard when being wrenched from sleep.

Most of the time OH and I have now got to a point where I've trained him so if I lightly push his shoulder he rolls over without even waking up. But it took us ages to get there.

It doesn't always work (on the occasional night he'll keep rolling back) but then he's very apologetic and understanding if I wake him properly.

It stops long enough for me to be able to dose back off, thankfully.

Im going to try and talk to him when he is home from work.

Either that or go to bed at 8 so that when i do wake up at 0230-0330 ive had a decent sleep 😂

I evicted my DH to the spare room at about 34 weeks last pregnancy - he didn’t move back in until Ds was 6 months and moved to his own room (so we could co-sleep)

Hands down one of the best decisions I made!

Honestly not sure how I resisted not smothering DH for the same thing last night. Argh! Drive me nuts normally but when pregnant it's just so much more irritating. I'm sleeping in the spare room tonight!

AJJS89 · 23/11/2018 13:23

The kids are out tonight with grandparents so i can see me sleeping in one of their beds, underneath a dinosaur tent!! Better than the snoring though and/or a murder charge. Although, given the level of hormones, do you think i could claim diminished responsibility?
