Summary

Prospective, randomized controlled trial. Pregnant women in early pregnancy will be randomized to either the Sleep Study + CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy) group or to a Standard Prenatal Care group. Subjects in the Sleep Study + CPAP group will complete a sleep study (WatchPAT-200, Itamar Medical, Inc.) and have CPAP initiated if the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) ≥5 as indicated, in early and late pregnancy, whereas the other group will receive standard prenatal care. All subjects will complete a sleep study again between 8 to 12 weeks postpartum.
