Is it normal for pregnant women to snore when they sleep?

After a pregnant woman becomes pregnant, there are major changes in her body. Some pregnant women did not snore at all before they became pregnant, but started snoring after they became pregnant. Everyone knows that snoring may cause the body to get less CO2, so many pregnant women are very worried. So is it normal for pregnant women to snore while sleeping?

It belongs to normal situation. After a pregnant woman becomes pregnant, the increase in progesterone levels can easily cause the gland ducts in the nostrils to swell. After the gland ducts swell, they will block the nostrils, making it easy for her to snore when she sleeps at night. And when pregnant women reach a certain month, the uterus will become larger, and the uterus will cause the diaphragm to rise, so the woman's respiratory system is much narrower than before, and it is easy to snore when sleeping.

Sometimes snoring in pregnant women may be caused by diseases. For example, adenoids hyperplasia and swollen tonsils can easily cause snoring. However, snoring caused by such diseases in pregnant women can automatically improve or even disappear if these diseases are effectively treated.

In general, snoring in pregnant women may be caused by changes in the human body after pregnancy, or it may be caused by certain diseases that occur after pregnancy. If a pregnant woman feels that she snores very loudly and affects her breathing, she can go to the hospital for a check-up and take proactive and effective measures after finding out the cause. Generally speaking, pregnant women who snore do not need treatment. They can relieve snoring by sleeping on their left side.
