Partner snoring

Video him snoring, show him the next day and tell him the effect it’s having on yours and baby’s sleep. My partner got diagnosed with sleep apnoea recently after me recording him when I was pregnant. He doesn’t snore every night, but when he does everyone is up! X

@Marissa I've videod him plenty of times he just finds it funny 🤷 he won't go see any doctor to see if he has sleep apnea, honestly I'm convinced he does because he snores every night, like I'm not even joking but he closes his eyes about 1 minute later he's snoring it's an absolute joke! Like even when I'm in bed with him when he's snoring the way he's breathing sometimes it makes the mattress jerk/move in a way and honestly it drives me insane. Like I don't know how I've put up with him for so long because I'm someone who needs total silence, stillness and pitch black darkness (even tho I sometimes have my episodes of freaking out and screaming at things that aren't even there dunno why this happens because I have no trauma of this sort of thing) he never used to snore every night it's very strange, and I used to be able to nudge him once and that'll be him done snoring till I fall asleep which takes me forever most the time. But now I nudge and even shake him he'll stop snoring for a split second 😭

My husband is a snorer as well, every night and worse snoring if he's been drinking or overtired. We've found if he sleeps on his side it's better and that since he's starting exercising more regularly and lost weight, it's not as loud. We use a ewan the sheep for our lg which helps block the snoring slightly but tbh I think she's used to it as she would kick me overnight when I was pregnant as soon as the snoring started. Could you try white noise to help block it out a bit? Also you could suggest to your partner to try one of the snoring mouthguard to see if it helps if he refuses to see a Dr. My mum snored horrifically even after having her tonsils and adenoids removed in her 40s so the gp suggested the mouthguard which helped and meant both her and my dad got unbroken sleep as a result.

They won't test for sleep apnea with a newborn in the house anyway, or at least, ours wouldn't. My husband did go through the whole sleep test (he found very mild apnoea, barely there), but when we went to go ahead with part 2, it was mentioned we have a baby in the house and they said that is the absolute worst time to get an at-home sleep study done, because you aren't sleeping as you normally would and are constantly being disturbed.
