Even more comfortable than Hubs' Mom's bed that we slept in a few days before. So yay! It wasn't a disaster and my back didn't hurt after! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-464520 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 22:59:07 +0000 Adira 464520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-464510 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 22:37:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 464510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: late to this thread, but BRU definitely sells the snoogle FYI! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-464456 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 20:21:01 +0000 Adira 464456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-464451 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 20:11:28 +0000 pl0508 464451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000056JC1/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1356397835&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=SL75" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000056JC1/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1356397835&#038;sr=8-1&#038;pi=SL75</a> love it ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-464449 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 19:57:44 +0000 Adira 464449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Do you have a link to the one you bought off Amazon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-464448 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 19:55:25 +0000 pl0508 464448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: wish I had bought mine sooner ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-464442 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 19:42:24 +0000 Adira 464442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: I have GOT to get a pregnancy pillow! Hubs sister was telling me that she had one for her pregnancy and it was a life-saver! But she still uses it, so she didn't offer it to me, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-464406 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 18:56:59 +0000 pl0508 464406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a cheap 10.00 wedge pregnancy pillow off amazon and it has almost completely eliminated back pain from sleeping in the third tri. I'm 36 weeks this week ! Haven't had to sleep on n air mattress but can't imagine it would be comfy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-464396 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 18:37:03 +0000 Adira 464396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well good news ladies! One weekend down and no air mattress!!! Hubs Mom gave us her bed for the night and she slept on the couch. Her bed wasn't super comfortable, but I'm sure it was more comfy than an air mattress would be, and it was definitely sweet of her to give it up!</p> <p>Tomorrow we'll be at Hubs' Dad's, so I still have the chance to sleep on an air mattress, though hopefully I won't have to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-459074 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:50:13 +0000 Adira 459074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotomorrow: @oliviaoblivia: I don't know for SURE that I don't have a bed this weekend, but I suspect I don't. We're going to Hubs' Mom's this weekend and his sister and grandmother will be there. I suspect the grandmother will definitely get a bed, and I wouldn't want to take it away from her. As far as who gets the other bed or not... I'm not sure. Hubs' sister is totally high maintenance and I can totally see her throwing a fit if she doesn't get the bed, so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if I end up on the air mattress. Regardless of what happens this weekend though, we're going to Hubs' Dad's for Christmas and I already know we're sleeping on an air mattress there - same situation (grandparents get a bed, Hubs' sister gets a bed, Hub and I are left to fend for ourselves).</p> <p>@luckypenny: A couch might work! I'll actually look into that, although Hubs would still have to sleep on the air mattress, haha. I'm not sure if I'll be able to sleep on the couch though because Hubs' Mom has dogs and I'm really allergic and I don't think she keeps them off the couches. If the couch is covered in dog fur, I won't be able to sleep on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-459064 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:43:42 +0000 Mrsbells 459064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Oh i see.. thats too bad. I just think never had great sleep on an air mattress </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-459027 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:31:00 +0000 oliviaoblivia 459027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sotomorrow: I totally agree, give the preggo a proper bed! I'd be booking a hotel. I can barely sleep comfortably in my own bed let alone on some one's crappy air mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-459017 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:27:28 +0000 Mrs. Blue 459017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not nice enough to do that right now, but we have an air mattress that is really tall (about the height of two stuck together) and if it was filled really full, I could probably sleep on it..I just don't want to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-459013 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:26:01 +0000 sotomorrow 459013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm kind of appalled no one will give up a bed for a 3rd trimester pregnant woman. I'd be booking a hotel room in that case. Maybe I'm just high-maintenance? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458992 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:17:04 +0000 luckypenny 458992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a couch? We have a big overstuffed couch and DH has been sleeping out there while DD has insane sleep and he loves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458912 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:36:24 +0000 purrpletulips 458912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slept on one at 28w without too much problem but then my bed buddy was our 2 year old and not DH. I found it rather comfortable because I could adjust the firmness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458870 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:13:13 +0000 Adira 458870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: haha, I don't think I could sleep on the floor! I have wide hips, so sleeping on any surface that's too hard really hurts my hips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458868 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:12:37 +0000 Mrsbells 458868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would rather just sleep on the floor than an air mattress </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458866 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:12:18 +0000 Adira 458866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: Ugh, that's what I figured! But thanks for the info! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458862 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:11:20 +0000 JoJoGirl 458862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: You could also try somewhere like Bed Bath and Beyond that specializes in bedding and pillows? If Babies R Us doesn't have them. I tried department stores and couldn't find one there.</p> <p>ETA: They have them online, so definitely call a store nearby! <a href="http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/1/3/pregnancy-sleep-pillow" rel="nofollow">http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/1/3/pregnancy-sleep-pillow</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458852 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 15:09:05 +0000 Beyond2 458852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it...and it sucked. Keep it well inflated and bring lots of pillows. It's tolerable but it won't be great sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458708 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:18:29 +0000 Adira 458708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: I'll have to check there! I hope ours has one in stock! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458698 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:14:14 +0000 brownie 458698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Babies R Us is where I got mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458682 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:07:58 +0000 Adira 458682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: Thanks! I'll have to go shopping tomorrow if I have time and see if I can find one (or something similar)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458664 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:03:20 +0000 tororojo 458664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I think they have them at Pea in the Pod. Have seen some brands at Babies R Us, not sure if Snoogle is one of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458569 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:40:09 +0000 Adira 458569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: @JoJoGirl: Do either of you know where I might find a snoogle in-person? I'm going to need it for Saturday, so I don't think I really have time to order it (unless I do next-day shipping which will cost me a fortune). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458554 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:36:56 +0000 brownie 458554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the snoogle. I never had to do this, but I shipped my snoogle to my sister because she spent much of her time pregnant at the hospital with her son. She got the awesome pullout chair bed and the snoogle was a godsend for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458522 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:24:43 +0000 Adira 458522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Good call - staying inflated throughout the night is a definite must-have! It's so uncomfortable to wake up in the morning on the ground normally, so I can only imagine how much worse that will be when pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-and-an-air-mattress#post-458519 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:24:16 +0000 BelugaBean 458519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: The biggest plus to stacking them, if anyone has another you can borrow, is that if one leaks or loses air, you still have the support of the other. </p>
