Abstract
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is common in women and reported at 14-45% in pregnancy. SDB is identified by snoring and repetitive cessation of breathing during sleep accompanied by repetitive hypoxia and has been found to be associated with hypertenison, stroke and heart attack. The aim of the current study was to examine the prevalence of objectively measured snoring in pregnancy and the potential association between recorded snoring and the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) within a larger cohort from a prevalence of SDP in pregnancy study.
