Snoring is taking breathe with a grunting or snoring sound while you sleep, and self-diagnosis is nearly impossible. But if you're snoring, your partner (or neighbors) will likely let you know. Even those who don't normally snore can start after getting pregnant.

What is the reason of this?

Nasal congestion is often the cause of excessive snoring, but weight gain also plays a role. It can also be a symptom of something more serious, such as gestational diabetes or sleep apnea.

Tips

Nasal strips can help reduce the intensity of your snoring as well as change your sleeping position. Proper nutrition can also help prevent it, but like many symptoms, it is difficult to predict whether a person will snore during pregnancy, especially if she did not snore before conception. If you or your partner think your snoring may be interfering with your breathing, it's probably a good idea to let your healthcare provider know.
