My wife and I are expecting our first child together and she has gained a significant amount of weight. I don't mind this at all, however, it has caused her to snore louder than a rocket engine.
Has anyone else experienced this before? And tips on mitigating the noise?
I finally fell asleep (in the living room) at 3 am last night and woke up at 8 am because I could hear her snoring from the couch.

Can you get her one of those wedge pillows to elevate her head? Or if you’re in the market for a new mattress get the adjustable beds and elevate her side. When I was fatter I snored in the winter time because the air was sooo dry. A humidifier and the wedge pillow helped a lot.

Look into getting her a body pillow and yourself some ear plugs.
Adjustable beds are great! We got one and it’s amazing...it’s just we waited until I was almost 9 months pregnant to get it and that I really could have used more during my pregnancy

As someone who has been a wide variety of weights during my marriage (and none of them small) I can attest that the only thing my otherwise very supportive husband has ever mentioned is that I snore badly when I'm bigger. For me the two are very connected. Just keep loving her, I'm sure she hates it too, and it should resolve on its own a couple months into breastfeeding

How far along is she? I had the leacho pillow and that helped keep me on my side. Otherwise, sleep in a different room with ear plugs. I’m sure she’s uncomfortable enough as it is, don’t make her mad.

We just entered the 3rd trimester. I'm not bashing her for the snoring, fyi... She's the one who jokes about it, more than I do.

Yes. Get her a body pillow. It helps. If not, Sleep in a different room.

He then said he's allergic to the cat, cat can only stay part time. Cat is also not allowed in the bedroom and he's not allowed on the new sofa. It's really sounding like he doesn't want the cat there at all. Should I even bother continuing the conversation about moving in?
