Don't you want the bed all to yourselves?

[barbarap]

I'm only 21.5 weeks but I'm already having lots of trouble sleeping through the night, mainly because I cannot find a comfortable position.
Last night I ended up moving to the spare bedroom and having a pillow in front and one on my back and it really helped.
Will probably buy a pregnancy pillow tonight but even with it, I prefer it when I'm on my own as I sometimes wake up quite hot and like stretching my leg looking for a cool bit... or simply toss and turn until I settle in a good position without worrying I'll wake him up.
My husband has an issue with us sleeping in separate bedrooms, I've explained to him that it has nothing to do with our relationship... but I don't think he was expecting me to move out until later on in the pregnancy.
What are your sleeping arrangements?

YES!!!

I've got a dream genii now and its lovely but I want to stretch out! OH is always boiling hot too and he breathes in my face and it annoys me. I always punch him! haha

I haven't moved rooms but I am finding it more difficult to sleep. I feel bad for my OH because I'm taking up more room in our bed. Also now I want the room to be freezing cold at night and I think I nearly freeze OH out!

lol@flatshoes... i use a pillow for my tummy & back, the OH often gets up in the night as he doesnt need much sleep, so i can stretch out as much as i want when hes not in the bed

having the bed to myself is honestly my favourite bit about being single.. I couldn't possibly imagine having to share my bed atm, let alone when I get even bigger and more uncomfy!!

Dont laugh but I cant sleep in bed with OH as he snores/takes up too much room. The last month iv been sleeping on a queen size blow up bed hahahahaaaa with 2 dream genii's hehe. I love it! I quite easily assume the starfish position

 

[hotpinkangel]

nope!! i love him being there! i get comfy with a pillow under my tummy, and my right leg on oh's back!! if he wasn't there i'd have to find another way of getting comfy!!!

I am with flatshoes on this one! OH breathes on me and it drives me MAD!! I don't want to sleep in separate beds so i just put up with it, i find if he is up and away before me and i go back to sleep i have the most amazing sleep ever!! I can't wait to start mat leave this week and sleep all morning in peace!! x

 

[Srrme]

I'm the complete opposite. I can't fall asleep unless my OH is cuddled up in bed with me.

I made my hubby switch sides of the bed with me and I am much more comfy now I seem to get more comfortable on my right side so I made him give me that side of the bed. I don't like him breathing in my face and I need the pillow between my legs. I sleep on my side with my top leg bent but out and my bottom leg almost under me if that makes sense. Anyways with me on the right side of the bed I can hang my knee off the bed a little, get some cool air on my face or leg and I don't take up too much room that way where before he would be in my way if I wanted to put my leg up and the pillow wouldn't fit between my legs

I can sleep without my hubby in the morning after he leaves for work but if he is home and not in bed with me I don't like it one bit.

OMG I want a queen size blow up bed now!!

I totally want the bed to myself, OH does my head in when we're in bed at the best of times cos he jumps to turn over, steals all the sheets off me, complains he's too hot and takes the bed up grr! lol My 5ft preg pillow has just arrived so I'll be forcing OH to move as far up to the wall as possible ha ha x

 

[EmzyJA]

omg i'd love to have the bed to myself. hubbi is sooooooo annoying in bed. he watches dvds and falls asleep with them playing. i end up waking up in the night having to switch them off. then he takes up so much space, steals covers and also breathes in my face which i hate. i used to love sleeping in bed with him but not now. especially as this morning his feet were right the way over on MY SIDE!!! grrrrrrrrrrr x

 

[jewell222001]

I actually sleep on the couch so i can lean up against the back of it for support for my back. I also like it cause its leather and its cold at night so when I lay on it it feels so good! My hubby doesnt mind cause if i go to the couch he takae one of our boys to bed with him lol.

I am only just past 13 weeks and I have the same problem. My husband usually stays up quite late so I usually go on to bed first. I can sleep fine as I can stretch and find a comfortable position easily without getting too warm as well. The problems start when he gets into bed lol. I get far too warm, can't get back to sleep, can't find a comfortable position and like you I can't stretch out to find a nice cool patch.

I just stick it out and eventually fall asleep but its getting very uncomfortable. Im getting fed up with it

I love my husband more than words...but I've always had a problem sleeping with him...just because he's never slept with anyone before..I'm the first woman he's ever been this close with...anyways he used to wake me up in the middle of the night to tell me how much he loves me...but that quit after we got deployed..which is fine by me. Now he sleeps on his back and has this weird snore...I have to elbow him in the ribs to get him to roll over...and he's like a space heater..he gets behind me to spoon me and I can't take it...

I'm not that big but we only have a full bed...there won't be any room when I do..he doesn't mind me sleeping on the couch everyonce in awhile..but not every night...

 

[lizardbreath]

Depends on how I have been feeling I will sometimes Tell OH to sleep in spare room He snores Like Mad and sometimes I just NEED sleep this baby Takes so much out of me because Im so sick. Last Night I asked him to sleep in his room Hes fine with it so it works for me.

 

[Nervous_1]

Ang3l you and I are in the same boat! On Sunday my OH came to bed at 2am and woke me up. I couldn't get back to sleep after so I decided to just get up at 4:30am! Went on ebay for a few hours to hunt out some bargains, then when OH got up I went back to bed.

I only wish I could do this during the week, but unfortunately I have to get up for work before 6am, so I'm surviving on about two hours sleep a night which leaves me feeling exhausted!

 

[evewidow]

i dont sleep very well when OH is not here , he is working away for 3 weeks (this is week one) and ive not slept well

 

[laurbagss]

Arghhh I know what you mean, I keep kicking my boyfriend cos he is in the way!! I'm waking up like 5 times a night because I cant get comfy and when I am sleeping my boyfriend says Im always groaning LOL! xxx
