How to Stop Snoring

We all know that snoring is annoying, and if you’ve read any of my other articles then you know that it can be harmful to your health. What we didn’t previously know is that pregnant women who snore are more likely to have premature babies than those who do not. Remember that snoring can and often will lead to spells throughout the night wherein you are not actually breathing at all. If you do not have any air. Guess what? Your baby doesn’t have any air either.

Where did this all come from?

In this recent article from the NZHearld.co.nz Dr. Alison Fung published her findings of a sleep study of sorts that was able to prove that this was true. In her study he took 41 pregnant women and tracked their sleep patterns. Of those 41, ten of the women had snoring issues including but not limited to obstructive sleep apnea and in those women half of their babies experienced a lower birth rate and/or their growth rate was slowed dramatically.

The reality here is that most pregnant women don’t think that something like this could happen to them, but the truth is that it can and often will. A baby without air, much like any other mammal without air is unable to survive and/or thrive and thats not what an expectant mother wants to hear before she goes into labor.

What can you do to stop it?

The easiest way to stop snoring at night is to utilize what is known as a “stop snoring device”. On this website we feature two of the more prominent devices, the My Snoring Solution and the Snoreless pillow. These are going to ensure that when you’re sleeping your jaw is set in such a way that is to reduce snoring. I don’t know about you but paying $50-$100 for a device like this is probably worth it when you consider the far reaching benefits (a healthy offspring).

So if you are the mother, father, grandparent or any other relative of a baby on the way for that matter be sure to take a close and hard look at all of this and determine for yourself whether or not this is the proper course of action.
