Husband’s snoring is driving me mad

Pre-baby, I was a really heavy sleeper. Once I was out, that was it until morning. Now little one has arrived, I feel I’m waking up at every tiny noise he makes. My husband has always snored, but I always used to fall asleep before him so it wasn’t an issue. Now I’m waking up multiple times a night, I’m finding it almost impossible to go back to sleep. I’m currently on the sofa with baby and hubby upstairs because I haven’t slept properly in 4 days. Little one is 4 months now and is doing a good 7 hour stretch, I just can’t seem to get that. Any advice (or earplug recommendations) greatly appreciated!

Co sleeping

Alright fellow co sleeping mamas.. I really tried the bassinet we got for little man but he absolutely hates it and we were losing so much more sleep just trying to put him down in his bassinet cause he would instantly wake up or within a few minutes. We tried warming the bassinet before hand, white noise, sleep sack(s), doing a warm bath and feeding beforehand, patting his butt when we transfer.. it just didn’t work.. so with that being said we’ve had him in bed with us & I need some recommendations on a “lounger” we should get to put in the middle of us where we can sleep at night or even on the couch during the day so we can be hands free and also sleep a bit better at night.. I’ll post a picture of a “lounger” and pls lmk yalls thoughts and recommendations. Thank youuu <3

How are we taking showers?

When he was little, I used to just put the bouncer in the bathroom and I would shower while I was watching him. That’s something I’m not able to do anymore because he became to mobile for the bouncer and also for his swing so I had to get rid of them he tries to escape them by crawling, or he simply starts yelling cs he doesn’t like them. How are we taking showers then?
the other day I put him in his highchair with a couple of toys, but he got bored of it really quickly and I ended up taking a three minute shower. I was also thinking I could put him on his crib with a couple of toys since I can just bring the monitor in the shower with me. I’m just not sure if he’ll like that. Has anybody tried this? Any other ideas?

Epidurals

Hello - expecting FTM, I’d really like to hear people’s opinions on epidurals who have had one previously please and their experiences (good or not so good) - no horror stories though please 🥲 I have done a LOT of research myself but would really like to get some first hand experiences, I’m aware of the risks & it’s not for everyone but I’d love to hear if people enjoyed having one and if not, why not 😊 thank you!!!

Recovery

When I found out I was pregnant I quit all drugs and alcohol smoking everything but now it’s like all I want to do but I know I can’t because the baby’s more important. I’ve only just turned 20 and I’m 26 weeks pregnant.

Hallucinating or no?

Ok so it's 10pm at night. 2 people in bed, blue and white. White is usually asleep by 9:30 but goes to take a shower at 10.

Blue, who is and was awake hears moaning (and heavy breathing) and jokes that they could have helped (white get off). The text chain in the comments follows.

Blue then says they must be hallucinating and to ignore them. White doesn't respond.

Bkue apologises imfor causing a problem, the next morning. White says "it's ok".

Do we think Blue was hallucinating? Or was White lying?

Please, please, please help.
