Going to start sleeping in the other room :(

Last night I got up every 1-2 hours to pee.  Add that to my new noises I make at night and my loud breathing and my poor husband can't get any sleep.  I hate having to sleep in the other room, but it's not fair to him to keep him up for the next 9.5 weeks, when it's going to be a long time after that that he can sleep through the night!

    Yeah, DH removed himself from the bedroom last week, saying that I was snoring and keeping him up. That, and apparently the snoogle pillow and I were hogging the bed. Embarrassed

    Awe! :( My DH snores like he's a lumberjack! I just holler out, 'you're snoring!' and he stops. Then he starts up again and I yell out again and he stops. LOL Some nights are worse than others but I try to stay in bed with him unless it just happens to be one of those nights where I feel like I am going to physically harm him! HA HA

    Is there anyway your DH can urge you to change positions or something to stop your snoring/labored breathing? Then you can just try to be slower to get in and out of bed so you don't disturb him?

    I hate to see any married couple separated at bed time especially when you are preggers but I also understand you have to do what you have to do to sleep well and not kill each other, too! :) GL!

    I actually don't snore, I just breathe louder, and then every now and then I sort of grunt, which he thinks is me trying to get more air into my lungs.  So he can't really stop me from doing it.  I'm really quiet when I get up and get back in bed and I don't flush the toilet (just going to be back in a few minutes anyway!) but he's a light sleeper I guess because it wakes him up every time, and we have a mattress that doesn't move.

    He actually does snore and it doesn't bother me unless it's really loud, if the tables were turned I would never notice him getting up, I sleep like a log!

    I just started snoring the other night...gee I wonder why, it couldn't be the 40lbs I've gained. haha. 

    DH starts out in bed with me, but usually moves to the guest bedroom in the middle of the night.

    I did this exactly for a few weeks and it drove DH nuts, but once the baby dropped, it quit.  Maybe by 37 weeks or so you'll be able to get back in the bed with him (although the constant peeing doesn't stop!)

    I just came to this realization. My poor husband relocated to the living room last night. He said I snore like a lumber jack. I feel horrible, I am moving to the spare room tonight for the duration of the pregnancy- there is no need for him to be on the couch or in another room. I can easily make the change.

    LOL.. ditto!  I have to wake DH up and tell him to roll over on his side at least 4-5 times a night.

    Me and Hubbie had the same conversation this morning. I felt horrible for waking him up 3 times last night. He told me that he loved me and that if I had to endure it, he could too.. So sweet.. I love my husband!!

    You could try a noise machine/CD or ear plugs if you're not too excited about separate rooms. I have to use a noise machine to fall asleep at night because DH's breathing/snoring annoys me.

    My DH and the dog have been in the guest room for weeks.  We only have a queen and DH is 6'4" and with my pillows and everything it was just too crowded.  I felt bad at first but he came back for a night recently, and I did not sleep very well because it was too crowded.  Sleep is very important at this point so I'm okay with it!  GL!
