Скачать или смотреть Season 9: Episode 3 – Pregnant, Snoring, and Exhausted: When Should You Seek Help?

Pregnancy is often described as magical — but for many women, it’s also exhausting. When snoring gets louder and fatigue feels unrelenting, it could be more than just pregnancy catching up with you.

In this powerful 100th episode of Sleep Is My Waking Passion™, Dr. Alison Kole sits down with Dr. Ghada Bourjeily, sleep researcher and professor at Brown University, to unpack the growing — yet often overlooked — link between pregnancy and obstructive sleep apnea.

💤 What you’ll learn:
• Why snoring and fatigue in pregnancy deserve closer attention
• Key risk factors that should trigger early screening
• How insurance and systemic barriers block access to care
• Whether sleep apnea goes away postpartum
• How YOU can help advance sleep research by joining her observational study

This conversation is a must-watch for expecting parents, OB/GYNs, doulas, and anyone passionate about women’s health. Sleep apnea during pregnancy is more common than we think — and early detection could be life-saving for both mother and baby.
