Self-reported snoring is common in pregnancy, particularly in females with pre-eclampsia. The prevalence of inspiratory flow limitation during sleep in preeclamptic females was objectively assessed and compared with normal pregnant and nonpregnant females.Fifteen females with pre-eclampsia were compared to 15 females from each of the three trimesters of pregnancy, as well as to 15 matched nonpregnant control females (total study population, 75 subjects). All subjects had overnight monitoring of respiration, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure (BP).No group had evidence of a clinically significant sleep apnoea syndrome, but patients with pre-eclampsia spent substantially more time (31 +/-8.4%, of sleep period time, mean SD) with evidence of inspiratory flow limitation compared to 15.5 +/-2.3% in third trimester subjects and
