- - The study looked at snoring and breathing problems during sleep in pregnant women, finding that there are more issues than what is usually measured, especially in those with obesity.
- - Researchers measured a special signal called pulse transit time to see if it could help identify breathing problems during sleep better than regular methods.
- - They found that many snoring women had more drops in pulse transit time, which suggests they might have breathing problems, even if they didn't meet the usual standards for such issues.
