Pregnant women who snore have a higher risk of birth by caesarean section and give birth to low weight babies, according to a study published in the journal Sleep.
Roncadoras Chronicles, i.e. which snoring before pregnancy and continue during this period are two-thirds more likely to have a baby that weighs less than 90 percent than other babies in the same stage of pregnancy and mothers who do not snore.
Also, according to the study conducted by the health system of the University of Michigan (UM), the roncadoras are two times more likely to need an elective caesarean section operation, added the study.
"There has been much interest in the implications of snoring during pregnancy and affects how maternal health, but there is little information on the impact that has on the health of the baby," wrote the lead author of the study Louise O 'Brien, of the Department of obstetrics and Gynecology at the school of Medicine of the UM.
The researchers found that chronic snoring is linked to younger babies and Cesareans, even when other risk factors are weighed up, and this indicates the possibility of examining the women by breathing problems during sleep that can put them at risk for poor outcomes in childbirth.
The study included 1.673 pregnant women enrolled in prenatal clinics of the UM between 2007 and 2010. 35 Percent of the participants indicated that it habitually snoring.
Snoring is a sign of obstructive sleep apnea, a breathing problem during sleep that can reduce blood oxygen levels during the night and is linked with other health conditions.
A year ago or "O'Brien headed an investigation that showed an increased risk of high blood pressure and preeclampsia or toxemia of pregnancy in women who start snoring during pregnancy.
Women with obstructive apnea during sleep can receive help from continuous positive pressure in respiratory tract, a treatment that involves a machine that uses air pressure to keep open these routes while the women are sleeping.
