Introduction and objectives: Physiological and hormonal changes occurring in pregnancy increase the risk of sleep disordered breathing (SDB), which, along with short sleep (SS) duration, may be associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Exposure to GDM in the mother increases her lifetime risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D) as well as the risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome and, in later life, T2D of her children. The aim of this study was to systematically review the collective published evidence of associations between snoring/sleep-disordered breathing or sleep duration and increased risk of GDM. Hypothesis: We assessed the hypotheses that sleep disturbances, and/or short sleep during pregnancy may be associated with an increased risk of GDM. Materials and Methods: We performed systematic searches using MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane library and PsycINFO to assess the effect of snoring/sleep disordered breathing (SDB) or short sleep (SS) on the development of gestational diabetes (GDM) and impaired glucose tolerance in pregnancy. Prospective studies with measures of sleep disturbances at baseline and outcome measures of GDM or levels of glucose 1hr post GCT were included in a meta-analysis. We extracted odds ratios (OR) or relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) and pooled them using a random effect model. Results: Overall, 7 studies met the inclusion criteria. They included 4,292 participants with 311 cases of GDM. In the pooled analysis, snoring/SDB and SS were both associated with a greater risk of GDM (RR: 2·27; 95% CI 1·65 to 3·12; P < 0· 00001) and (3·19 [1·56 to 6·54]; P < 0·002), respectively. There was no evidence of heterogeneity but there was evidence of publication bias and not all studies adjusted for obesity. Sensitivity analyses did not influence the pooled risk estimates. Conclusions: In conclusion, sleep disturbances may represent a risk factor for the development of GDM. Further studies are required to address the issues of publication bias and potential confounding, and to extend these observations to high-risk groups like women of ethnic minority groups whose risk of GDM is the greatest. Prevention, detection and treatment strategies need to be explored.

Disordered Breathing

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a common, yet under-recognized and undertreated condition in pregnancy. Sleep disordered breathing is associated with pregnancy complications including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, as well as severe maternal morbidity and mortality. The identification of risk factors for SDB in pregnancy may improve screening, diagnosis, and treatment of SDB prior to the onset of pregnancy complications. The goal of this study was to determine whether fetal sex increases risk of SDB in pregnancy. A cohort of singleton (N = 991) pregnant women were recruited within 24 to 48 hours of delivery and answered questions regarding SDB symptoms by questionnaire. Women who reported frequent loud snoring at least 3 times a week were considered to have SDB. Hospital records were reviewed to extract information on fetal sex and pregnancy complications including preeclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, preterm delivery, and low birth weight. Women carrying male fetuses were significantly more likely to have SDB (β = .37, P = .01, OR: 1.45 [95% CI: 1.09-1.94]). Fetal sex was associated with increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (defined as preeclampsia and/or pregnancy-induced hypertension) among women with SDB in pregnancy (β = .41, P = .02, OR: 1.51 [95% CI: 1.08-2.11]). Fetal sex did not increase risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, or gestational diabetes among women with SDB in pregnancy. Women carrying male fetuses were approximately 1.5 times more likely to report SDB in pregnancy compared to women carrying female fetuses, and women with pregnancy-onset SDB carrying male fetuses were 1.5 times more likely to have hypertensive disorders of pregnancy compared to women with SDB carrying female fetuses. Confirmation of fetal sex as a risk factor may, with other risk factors, play a role in identifying women at highest risk of SDB complications in pregnancy.

Disordered Breathing

Sleep complaints are a common occurrence in pregnancy that are in part due to pregnancy-associated anatomic and physiological changes but may also be due to pathological causes. In the non-pregnant population, sleep deprivation has been associated with physical and cognitive issues; poor sleep may even be associated with adverse maternal outcomes. Maternal obesity, one of the most prevalent risk factors in obstetric practices, together with physiologic changes of pregnancy predispose to the development of sleep disordered breathing. Symptoms of sleep disordered breathing have also been associated with poor maternal outcomes. Management options of restless legs syndrome and narcolepsy pose a challenge in pregnancy; benefits of therapy need to be weighed against the potential harm to the fetus. This article briefly reviews the normal changes in pregnancy affecting sleep, gives an overview of certain sleep disorders occurring in pregnancy, and suggests management options specific for this population.
