In bed wide awake even though I'm totally exhausted. Can't sleep for a multitude of reasons - braxton hicks, heartburn that feels like a laser is being shot through my chest, indigestion, rib pain, restless legs...... I'm due in less than a week and suddenly I'm terrified. This is baby number 2 albeit with a large gap between the two but I'm suddenly terrified of going into labour (as much as I'm so ready for baby to just be out). Dc1 was 5 weeks early and his delivery was really fast so I didn't really have time to get worried or panicked like this.

On top of that I'm hearing dh snore his head off as usual. His snoring is so bad I can't sleep with him so he sleeps in another room (so bad I still hear it from here) - he refuses to do anything about it, as far as he seems to be concerned he's asleep so it doesn't bother him. I'm just realising that I'm alone in feeling like crap at the moment just like I'm obviously going to be alone with all the sleepless nights when baby gets here (he wasn't helpful with dc1 during the night when he was in the same room so he definitely won't be when he's in another room).

Sorry just needed to vent a bit Sad

Hi OP, I didn’t want to read and run. You seriously need to sit and talk to your husband about the plans and arrangements for when baby arrives because you’re in it together and will also need some help.
He’s a parent too it’s not just tour job!
As for the snoring , it’s selfish he won’t do anything about it . My husband started snoring quite badly a few years ago and took himself to the GP and it turned out he had put some weight on that was affecting his breathing . He lost half a stone and he doesn’t snore now unless he’s had a beer .
I hope you’re ok, no advise on labour as I’m not due until August with my first so I’m clueless ! X
