Snoring Cures For Pregnant Women

According to a study recently published in the European Respiratory Journal, women are two times more likely to snore (41%) during the third trimester of pregnancy than those who are not pregnant (17%). In addition, 14% of pregnant women more than 6 months “tested” with apnea sleep, against only 3% outside of pregnancy.

What explains this phenomenon? The team of researchers from Edinburgh, originally of the study, blames several factors. First, weight gain and distention of the abdomen, two phenomena closely related to pregnancy, play a role in snoring. Add to this the fact that the fat can infiltrate the pharyngeal muscles or be deposited in soft tissues around the neck and upper airway, resulting in an increase in the width of the neck and a narrowing of the airways. Because their airways are narrower then, pregnant women snore more.
