Compared with non-expectant women, pregnant women have narrower upper airways, which might explain why they are more likely to snore. The finding comes from an investigation involving 137 women, carried out by doctors at the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, which also found that women with pre-eclampsia had even narrower airways.
The researchers, led by Professor Neil Douglas, said at a recent British Thoracic Society meeting that changes in the upper airway could contribute to increased blood pressure for women with pre-eclampsia.
