So I poked around online about this issue in pregnant women and it seems it isn't that uncommon. However, the Swedes did a study on snoring and pregnant women and came back with some alarming statistics:
* Some baby's of snoring mom's APGAR score was below 7
* Some baby's of snoring mom's suffer from retardation
* Some baby's of snoring mom's are low birth rate
I realize this is a small percentage and there are many other factors involved (high blood pressure, preclampsia, obesity), but its enough to make you panic as a new mom-to-be.
The internet can be evil sometimes.
In the mean time, I just spend some cash at the local pharmacy on Breathe Right strips and spray and will fire up the humidifier tonight.
So sorry Papa J.
