To be honest it's not the amount of times he's been out, or will continue to go out, it's more the time he gets home and the fact I am woken and then can't get back to sleep, not helped by the fact he snores. I'm currently 36+3 weeks pregnant.

Last night he went out for drinks with some guys he knows, it was one of the guys girlfriends birthdays. He said he'd get last train home but obviously didn't and it must have been 3am ish when he came to bed.
I woke, easily done when 8 months pregnant, and was still awake at 4.30, listening to him snore and getting more and more wound up. Lottie was up at 7 this morning but it has been 6am a lot.

This is semi-regular, at least once a week but at the moment feels like twice a week and 3am is an average time I guess.

So, while I don't begrudge him a socail life, and I'm still getting out a bit etc, and I do love him very, very much, I'm getting wound up with the accidental wakings and snoring etc.

How much right do I have to be annoyed?
Is it just part of being pregant and having a socilable man and a bit tough really?

Oh Ladies! I'm 28 weesk now, which has come as a shock as I thought I was 26 and I am really feeling for you. I remember going through the same thing last time. What's more nothing has changed!!
My heartburn is coming back and pelvic tenderness, along with frequent trips to the toilet and wakefulness. Dh says, this is like last time!! Err what did he expect?

Thomcat I think you have been most reasonable, infact I think I may have come across slightly more aggressively because this giril needs her sleep!!

Thomcat- not only a I astounded that you are 37 weeks pregnant (where has the time gone - I remember you taking the test) but I am completely shocked at your dh. Breathing too loudly {shock]. Well, honestly.....
I am afraid I have no advice apart from to really really really have a serious chat with him. He needs to knuckle under and in terms of you getting up at the weekend to be with Lottie - what on earth does he think is going to happen when the baby arrives? In order for your first born to feel less out of routine, more comfortable with things after the birth now is the ideal time for you to get into the habit of NOT being the parent on call in the mornings. He has to start now to take on more responsibility around the house and with childcare because he sure as hell is going to have to once No.2 arrives.
Good luck!
