Pregnant partner

You are in a tough spot b/c a pregnant woman is a force to be reckoned!  And since it is YOUR fault that she's pregnant (I assume ), EVERYTHING will be your fault.  I know, I've been there.....don't know how the poor hubby survived my bitc complaining. 

I'm not sure of any good way to wake up without waking her......would sleeping with a fan on help just to block other noise and maybe she'd be able to go back to sleep? 

good luck, in the end it's all worth it, and then neither of you will get any sleep

I agree with what the others have said.  Get your workout gear ready the night before in a different room.  Then sneak out and get ready in the other room.   I'm always a morning person and up at the crack of dawn for training before work and had to do that when I lived with my ex otherwise he would growl.

And to everyone else Downunder lives in Canberra there is no way he could sleep with a fan on.   I would see it on the news death of Hypothermia crazy aussies sleeping with a fan on.  Canberra is D**m cold in winter.  

I'd say try and compromise as best as you can try and sneak out quietly to another room but still make sure you get your time to go training!

Well, i've been the pregnant partner....

I don't have too much advice here, but can tell you that the first 12 weeks are the most "active" in development, and generally the most exhuasting.

More importantly, how does she feel about you training? How about a discussion together of how you can be the most supportive and what time of day would be the best for you to workout. Maybe a compromise or an adjustment? I think that if she feels that you are appreciating that she is 'carrying the load' right now, a thought out disruption might not be so bad. 

and... Congratulations!!

and... Thank you for your advice on the other thread

How about asking her to take a 6AM pee break? 

Congratulations, by the way to both of you!

Thank you, I'm glad someone said it.

Been there, done that. Here are your options

1- Learn to get out of bed by moving very slowly. Pretend you're James Bond sneaking away from the gorgeous Russian agent you just slept with. When she comments on how she didn't feel you get out of bed, do NOT tell her your method.

2- Bring it up during the day, and let her know that you really hate getting up so early, that you'd much rather stay in bed and keep her warm but you're working out for her and the baby, so you'll be healthy and around for a long time. You've got to be really good to pull this one off.

3- Tell her that you don't complain when she gets up 27 times a night to pee. Have something handy to use as a shield. Pregnant woman can throw things incredibly hard when properly motivated.

4- Suck it up Buttercup.

Marmadaddy gives very good advice.

The "good" news is her mood and sleep patterns will probably change several times over the next few months. If you're lucky, she will be sleeping like a rock soon. If not, well, Suck It Up, Buttercup.
