    Ha ha so I'm not the only one then!

    Actually I've felt congested since early pregnancy, apparently to do with the increased mucous and blood levels in your body. But my DH has had to buy ear plugs now so I'm hoping it disappears soon after the birth!
    I saw on 'Pregnancy with Dummies' that there is not alot you can do apart from occasional use of a nasal spray. I don't know if eucalyptus oil is safe to burn during pregnancy?

    Yep me too, axcept I used to snore alot before being PG.
    DH used to turn me over on my side when I was asleep before and snoring loudly.
    Now he cant even do that as i am already asleep on my side (and snoring even louder). i know i have woken myself up a few times from my snoring.
    There is nothing we can do, apparently it disappears straight after birth, so hopefully the end is not to far.....

    Yeah, my DH has said that in the last few weeks my snoring is getting unbearable!! Which I think is only fair because normally I am the one awake all night with him snoring, so payback is great!! As long as he doesn't wake me up cause I am only sleeping a few hours at a time in between going to the loo and with indigestion! Oh well, glad to see I am not the only one!!

    Yep. My DH says he heard me snoring while I was snoozing one afternoon. That's fine, except that I was in our bedroom downstairs at the back left corner of the house with the door shut. He was upstairs in his office in the front right hand corner of our house. Ooops!!

    Yep...me too!

    Started up about half way through second trimester.

    Sometimes I wake myself up from snoring so loudly! It doesn't happen every night...but when it does...scary!

    Yep Dede goes to another room, he says my snoring is bad, but as I am only getting a few bursts of sleeping hours due to peeing, cramps, aches & pains... I am so exhausted that I dont doubt my snoring but I also DONT CARE!!!!

    I started snoring about a week ago. It's because we tend to become more congested during pregnancy.
