DH and I decided to sleep in separate rooms for the remainder of my
pregnancy, when I was at about week 34. There were other reasons than the snoring, esp. that I was getting up all the time to go to the bathroom, making strange noises when I slept, and making the bed creak whenever I moved. Snoring was one good reason though. I don't snore much, and it normally wakes me up, but even when I don't, I breathe very heavily. DH tucks me in bed every night, and comes to cuddle me every morning when he wakes up. He sleeps better, and so do I for not always fearing I'll wake him up! Isabelle "Rebecca McGraw" wrote in message ... My husband is about to go crazy, even though he knows it's perfectly normal for 35.5-week-pregnant women to snore. However, I'm already using two pillows, breathe-right strips, and saline nasal spray, and I'm sleeping on my side...anyone have any ideas as to what else I can try? I don't hear myself snore, of course. Snnnnx, Rebecca |

have you tried a humidifier? I sleep with one specially since we had to
turn on the heat. That cuts down on some of the snoring. Kay Eva 9/2002 little boy 1/2005 "Rebecca McGraw" wrote in message ...

And it's worth it to have DH get some sleep - I'll need him to be as well-rested as possible once the baby's here. ;-) Not Albuterol, is it? Nope - that's a bronchodilator, used to relieve asthma symptoms. The steroid inhalers are preventative inhalers, which are taken on a regular basis to (hopefully) prevent asthma symptoms from coming on. The same stuff in nasal sprays reduces inflammation of the nasal linings and can be helpful for chronic problems with blocked/runny nose (hay fever and the like). That's what's in my inhaler, but I understand that they're going to be hard to come by in the not-too-distant future. Really? If it's the stuff I'm thinking of (we know it as Salbutamol, I believe) then this surprises me - it's a very standard asthma treatment. What will you be using instead? If you don't mind to check and tell me what the drug is, I'd like to know. The nasal spray I use has Beclometasone in it, but I would have thought that Fluticasone or Budesonide would be just as effective (all of these are also used in asthma inhalers, so I'm presuming that all of them were looked at for pregnancy risk in the study I was thinking of. Unfortunately, as I only have the abstract, I can't check this.) DH finally took to using earplugs, night before last, with good results. Thank goodness at least he's sleeping, because now *I* can't! I think I'm getting a cold or something. Now my tossing and turning bothers him, but he knows better than to complain Glad the two of you found something that works - here's hoping your cold clears up soon!

Man I hope not I take albuterol and it is cheaper then the other non steroid inhaler out there. If you don't mind to check and tell me what the drug is, I'd like to know.

The one night he did get out of bed and slept on the couch. I felt bad....when I asked him why he said he couldn't sleep and fell asleep watching tv. Oh what a nice man trying not to hurt my feelings. Good luck Kay Eva 9/2002 little boy 1/2005 -Rebecca One More Month! |

A friend of mine who has access to such information checked for me and said that it was the propellant in the inhaler that was being discontinued, not the Albuterol itself. Something about CFCs? I'm not sure I understand all I know about that but I guess I had better go get my inhaler prescription refilled soon. My asthma is mild to begin with and has been better during pregnancy, so I've been dragging my feet getting my refills. -Rebecca |

Something about CFCs? Aha - that's a lot more plausible. Certainly the UK has been trying to move over to non-CFC inhalers, though I don't think we've discontinued the CFC inhalers yet. I'd be very surprised indeed if albuterol was being discontinued.
