New mattress at end of pregnancy

[MKe21]

Hi

Mine and DPs double mattress is so incredibly uncomfortable. You can feel the springs underneath all the time and its making us both have the worst sleep. Mine especially with all the other reasons I cant sleep pregnancy wise too!

I'm 36+4 and so far have put off buying a new mattress for our bed due to offgassing of the chemicals. We were going to wait til baby was here then I got paranoid about whether this offgassing could affect the baby and I'm terrified of SIDS.

We can't afford an organic mattress. Has anyone else bought a normal new mattress during pregnancy or just before they are due? I appreciate i might be being over the top so happy to hear this if that's the case!

I waited which was lucky as my waters broke all over the old mattress.

Are you planning on bed sharing?

Thanks for your reply. No we're not planning on sharing, hoping to get baby in the snuzpod though I know from my toddler that it's easier said than done!

Mine did too. Luckily we had toddler mats across the mattress which saved it!

Do not get a new mattress yet.

I had the same situation / worries. I waited and ended up bed sharing on a really uncomfortable mattress for 18months. I don’t know what the answer is!

We bought a new mattress recently and had to wait months before it was delivered. I know this doesn't answer your question but needs to be considered

I didn’t have any idea this was a thing.
I had a new mattress when I was 5/6 months pregnant. Dd is now 3.5 and no ill effects.

I also got a new mattress and a waterproof sheet for it as I was about 8 months pregnant
Waters broke in bed
I also Co slept alot my DD is 4.5
Didn't know that off gassing was a thing

I also got a new mattress while pregnant! Around the 5 month mark it was getting difficult to climb out of my old soft mattress so I got the thickest firm one I could find. Never even heard of off gassing.

Never even knew this was a risk! I got a new mattress at about 5 months with my first pregnancy. Baby was born fine and also co slept with me.
