Daniel Braun: "Re: OB: Sleep study" Dan is on target with this. Researchers are beginning to connect dots between moms with sleep apnea and desaturation and babies with birth defects or pregnancies complicated by higher incidence of diabetes, gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. Get the test.

Mine got to 65 before they got me awake. Love my CPAP. GET THE TEST. You may save her life or at least a few Betz cells.Dan On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 4:45 PM, Charlie Chambers <ricechaz@me.com> wrote: My only question would be how much does pregnancy affect the results of her sleep study? Can't say that I know. Perhaps, your local sleep doc can tell you. Not something that you want to repeat if it can be avoided since they are very pricey. ************************************************************************** Charlie Chambers Hood River=2C OR USA -- cchamber@alumni. rice. edu "I'm a goin fishin.

She is obese and states that prior to finding out she was pregnant she was thiking about getting a sleep study. (She had talked to the Sleep Lab at the State Fair). She snores, boyfriend says she stops breathing and startles herself awake.Is there any reason not to get a sleep study? I'm assuming that if she has sleep apnea that puts her pregnancy at some risk and CPAP could only make it better. Thanks, Glen-- R.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
