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.

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,
