Have you experienced sleep apnea or suspect you have it?

Question

I'm going to see my doctor today as I usually snore, but now I have a blocked nose I'm waking up with a very very dry throat & shallow breathing. I'm nervous to sleep 😬 And understand pregnant women are more susceptible.
Has it happened to you? It seems scary.

Answer

I have been waking up with horrid headaches, dry sore throat. I hate going to sleep, too. I saw my PCP Monday and had a sleep study with a pulmonologist Wednesday. I waiting for results but this momma wants a CPAP!  The dr said it for sure gets worse during pregnancy....fun fun. Good luck and talk to your dr.

Answer

I have severe sleep apnea. During pregnancy, I had to use a memory foam wedge pillow and sleep semi reclined. After a night or two, I've never been more comfortable.  My breathing with my machine was great all night after that.

Answer

I had sleep apnea pre pregnancy. It has gotten a lot worse during due to the weight gain.  All you can do is talk to your doctor about it.
