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 conversation with Dr. Ghada Bourjeily from Brown University, leading researcher and sleep medicine expert, we explore the growing — yet underrecognized — challenge of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during pregnancy. Dr. Bourjeily unpacks why so many pregnant women report loud snoring, how hormonal and anatomical changes can obstruct breathing during sleep, and what that means for both maternal and fetal health.

💤 What you’ll learn:

• Why snoring and severe fatigue in pregnancy deserve closer attention.
• The key risk factors that should trigger early screening.
• How social determinants and insurance barriers affect access to care.
• The postpartum reality — does sleep apnea go away after birth?

This episode is for expecting parents, clinicians, and anyone passionate about women’s health. Early recognition and treatment of sleep apnea in pregnancy can make a life-changing difference — for both mother and baby.
