The proportion of the world’s population that is obese has tripled over the last 40 years, according to data from the World Health Organization. Women are more likely to be obese than their age- and country-matched male counterparts; women of reproductive age are no exception. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), a spectrum of conditions that range in increasing severity from loud snoring to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), is often co-morbid with obesity; in studies, 15–20% of obese pregnant women have OSA and the prevalence of OSA increases with age, BMI and in the presence of other co-morbidities.
