This review covers sleep disorders in pregnant women, detailing how pregnancy affects sleep patterns and quality. It examines potential risks to maternal-fetal health and offers management strategies for common sleep issues.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Perinatal Health

Background:

  • Pregnancy significantly alters sleep architecture and patterns.
  • Physical and biochemical changes during gestation impact maternal sleep quality.
  • Disordered sleep in pregnancy may pose risks to both mother and fetus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review sleep disorders common in pregnant women.
  • To describe pregnancy-related changes affecting sleep.
  • To examine the impact of sleep disorders on maternal-fetal outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of sleep disorders in pregnancy.
  • Analysis of changes in sleep architecture and patterns.
  • Examination of maternal-fetal outcomes associated with disordered sleep.

Main Results:

  • Pregnancy-induced physiological changes disrupt normal sleep.
  • Common sleep disorders like insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, and restless legs syndrome affect pregnant women.
  • Adverse maternal-fetal outcomes can be linked to sleep disturbances.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of sleep disorders is crucial during pregnancy.
  • Addressing insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, and restless legs syndrome can improve outcomes.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand the maternal-fetal implications of sleep disorders.
