    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 hypertension, stroke, and heart attack. There is no depth of knowledge examining the association between SDB and pregnancy outcomes. The aim of the current study was to examine the prevalence of self-reported snoring in pregnancy and the potential association between self-reported snoring and the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) within a larger cohort from a prevalence of SDB in pregnancy study.
