WANTED: Bigger Bed
I know we all talk about how we have trouble sleeping and that finding a good position is hard while pregnant and trying to fall asleep, but I think I know the solution to the problem: let’s all buy bigger beds!
Happy early Mother's Day to me???
I don’t know about you guys but my husband is really tall, so when he curls up he’s not making a small ball, he’s taking up more than half the bed. Where is the lady who’s growing a person inside her supposed to sleep?
I always ask him to move over multiple times in the middle of the night, so not only am I not getting a good night’s sleep but neither is he. I feel bad for waking him all the time with my frequent potty breaks, but when I leave the bed and come back and there’s only a foot of bed left for me, what am I supposed to do?
Levi is always kicking on the side I pick to sleep on, and when I try and turn over to the other side it hurts SO badly. It feels like my organs, Levi and everything else is slowly pulling to one direction, causing me to pause in pain. The doctor says this is normal because the baby has to get comfy too, not just mommy.
No matter what makes me wake up in the middle of the night, whether it be needing more room to sleep or a shifting baby, I am always able to sleep during the day time when need be. I take naps (Levi seems to take them with me) and I wake up a couple hours later feeling refreshed. I think this is because I have more room in the bed and Blake’s not weighing down two-thirds it!
I have trouble sleeping without my husband usually, but now that the issue is all about comfort I feel that a bigger bed will solve all of our problems. I would be able to get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and Blake wouldn’t feel the bed moving as I get up. He can take up two-thirds of what is normally a queen bed and that leaves me with one-third of the room a king size bed will leave me. It seems like the perfect plan, and Blake agrees. We can still sleep together comfortably and not affect each other’s sleep.
Do you think that getting a bigger bed could help the situation? A sleep-filled baby should be a happy one, and a sleep-deprived mommy doesn’t fit the idea.
I agree. Jon and I used to have a king bed back in NY and it was amazing. We downsized because we didn’t think we needed so much room. We were wrong. We plan on getting a king bed again once we move back.
I want a california king! Blake had one in TX but his mom uses it now…
Yea I wouldn’t take that one back… but the bigger the better!
Yes, get a bigger bed! We got a king when I was in my third trimester and it was and still is awesome. We also went for the memory foam so that my shifting and getting up did’t bother hubby and when he was restless it didn’t wake me. We have loved the bed and I would highly recommend it to all pregnant women.
OOPS! I posted on someone elses site! Sorry! Your friend who is anxious for Wednesday to arrive!
