Then definitely, whatever else is done, some sort of weight loss programme is mandatory.

Perhaps a carbohydrate-restricted diet with a view to weight loss might be a cheaper option? What is her BMI?

21 yo G2P0010 comes in for first visit at 9 wks. 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

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.
