Apocalyptic Snoring

One of the worst things I inherited from my Dad was his snoring. It's fine if I sleep on my front but I'm 25 weeks and that's not going to work. I had been keeping it more or less under control by jamming a pillow under my chin so I couldn't open my mouth, but I have a cold at the moment, everything is inflamed and I'm driving my husband insane. Has anyone got any advice?! We're living with my parents at the moment and my Mum is currently sleeping in DS1's room because of my Dad's snoring so DH can't sleep there. 😂

Any advice?!

Ear plugs! You can get the moldable silicone type ones that don't actually go in the ear hole but over it. They tend not to fall out while you sleep.

I do second earplugs, but with a warning that they may not be enough.

My dp snores terribly, and I need quiet to sleep. I tried using earplugs, as i usually use them anyway to block out cat mischief noises, but could still hear the snoring through them, especially when he would do it practically in my ear. I'd get up and cry on the sofa because I couldn't sleep.

We don't sleep in the same room anymore, I just can't do it.

If it's usually controlled then he might just be able to bear it for now, and earplugs should help a lot.

I’m a bad snorer and I find the nose strips help a bit!

Pregnancy, not the most glamorous time is it?! 😂

@Sallyh87 I've no idea what you're talking about, I've never felt so feminine 😂

Thanks, all. I want to try to do something myself so I'll give the strips a go. DH says it's fine but I suspect he'll be less fine at 3am. Oh well! Only 15 more weeks 😳
