Hell is when your baby is peacefully asleep next to you but you’re wide awake because your husband is snoring

[confusedbuthopeful]

Pre baby the snoring didn’t bother me bc I’d wear earplugs. It’s probably really unsafe to wear earplugs while sharing a bed with an infant, right?

 

[lorilu05]

@confusedbuthopeful Yes, send husband to couch.

 

[ness128]

@lorilu05 This is exactly what I did. The resentment hearing him snore is real.

Currently responding live from my bedroom with my newborn in bed next to me while husband is on couch.

@lorilu05 And to the doctor

 

[j3r3m3]

@lorilu05 Cpap for the win!

 

[scareddofthedecline]

@j3r3m3 Mine just got cleared for a cpap after his snoring was too bad we had to separate bedrooms! Like OP, it didn’t bother me before but the post baby sleep resentment is so real! And it will end up saving his life, his apnea was incredibly bad.

 

[j3r3m3]

@scareddofthedecline Yup! I really hope it helps! The difference in energy with cpap sleep vs. non is insane in our case. Before there were definitely days I couldn’t sleep, i’m so glad that was pre-baby.

@j3r3m3 2nd the CPAP and the couch. Best decision ever was sending him to the couch.. CPAP made him tolerable on hotel stays lol.

 

[confusedbuthopeful]

@lorilu05 I do. Every night. I’ve been so attached to the idea of all of us sleeping in the same room together so it makes me sad

 

[kyleeak]

@lorilu05 Seriously why are we putting up with this

 

[jeheke]

@lorilu05 Yep that’s where my snoring husband sleeps loool

 

[nrg80]

@confusedbuthopeful I get worried baby will get the ear plug if it falls out and put it in their mouth and choke

 

[fafaparola]

@nrg80 That's why I can't use my ear buds

 

[sold4christ25]

@confusedbuthopeful Wait until the snoring wakes up the baby... I got THIS CLOSE to being a widow.

 

[kylievaduva123]

@confusedbuthopeful Same situation. It's literally a living hell and I wake him up all night long

 

[christislord316]

@kylievaduva123 same. it makes me so incredibly angry it’s honestly scary. and i feel bad for getting mad at him cuz i know he can’t control it but ohmygoddddd

 

[ron48170]

@kylievaduva123 I took myself and baby to the guest bedroom haha. If we didn’t have a big house, I’d buy a new cheap king mattress from Amazon and have him sleep on it in another room

 

[cosmostar]

@confusedbuthopeful I told my husband he either has to get a CPAP machine or we'll have separate bedrooms. He chose the machine.

 

[carrilynn]

@confusedbuthopeful Idk - could you wear those loop style earplugs that tone down noise but don’t totally cancel it out?

I wake up when I feel baby move, not when he makes noise (he’s not a super noisy sleeper). My husband also snores occasionally and it is very annoying so I feel you!

 

[amanda911]

@confusedbuthopeful Haha I would be sticking the earbuds up his nose

If you are a light sleeper the earbuds probably aren't a risk.

I wear earbuds AND have sleep headphones playing white noise and I still wake up straight away for bub.

But it's also just me and bub on a floor bed so less risk
