Snoring Loud During Pregnancy

Posted by sleepyguy in Prescription Sleep Medicine, Sleep Disorder on April 16th, 2009

I wanted to talk to you about snoring loud during pregnancy. This is something that seems to happen to a lot of women and it usually surprised them. You may not have snored before, but now that you are pregnant you’re experiencing it. It is an odd thing to happen, but there is a perfectly good explanation for why this happening. It just comes down to volume. As you have a baby growing inside of you there is pressure on your other organs. There are ways of dealing with it that can be relatively easy. I’m going to talk to you about snoring loud during pregnancy.

The first thing you need to know is that there is a lot of pressure on your airways. Particularly the further down the esophagus you go. Basically what happens is that there is pressure on the tube. When air has to travel down a much smaller tube, it has to go a lot faster. As it goes faster, it will start to vibrate any sort of loose tissue that it encounters and that is what leads to the sounds of your snoring. The obvious solution to the problem is opening up the tube a little.

When it comes to snoring loud during pregnancy, there is a way to stop it. You may not be able to relieve the pressure created internally by being pregnant, but there is one external thing you can change; your jaw position. When your jaw is open (like it is when you sleep) it puts pressure on your throat and squeezes it. A jaw supporter is a headband that wraps around your chin and the top of your head. It holds the jaw closed, causing the airways to open up and you won’t snore. It’s easy to apply.
