Sleepiness and sleep-disordered breathing during pregnancy.

CONCLUSION: There was no increased prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea among pregnant women. One reason for this could be that the majority of the women in this study were non-obese. Neither OSA nor snoring was likely an explanation for the increased daytime sleepiness seen in the pregnant women. PMID: 27085867 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
