Develop to much or too little sleep during the first trimester increase risk for women hypertension and its complications during pregnancy, according to a new study.
Pregnancy induced hypertension is a symptom of pre-eclampsia, a serious illness, associated with excess protein in the urine. It typically occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy. Untreated preeclampsia increases the risk of serious eclampsia in pregnant women.
Women who slept six hours or less per night in their first quarter systolic blood pressure was slept more points 3,72 in the third quarter than their counterparts, the 9 hours per night. Nine hours sleep researcher is appropriate and normal pregnancy. This number is higher than that recommended tend because pregnant women usual seven to eight hours per night, have the greatest need for sleep. The study appears in October 1 of the journal of sleep number.
Increase in blood pressure seen in the third quarter
Systolic pressure, the 4.21 points, was in the third quarter of women who had slept at least 10 hours a night, that women, the nine hours of sleep in early pregnancy. Systolic blood pressure is the number, the greater than a blood pressure lecture and refers to the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats. Similar increases were for diastolic blood pressure (the lower number in a blood pressure lecture, measures the pressure in the arteries between the heartbeat).
Although these numbers are small, she could push enough to the blood pressure of some women in the top row.
One night in early pregnancy women who slept 9 hours had an average systolic blood pressure of 114 in the third quarter. Pregnant women, the six or fewer hours per night while their first quarter slept had a systolic pressure of 118.04. women who slept, for 10 hours at night or in their pregnancy earlier had a systolic pressure of 118.90, the study showed.
Necessary study
It is not fully understood just as connected to lack of sleep or too much sleep and blood pressure during pregnancy.
"Moving forward, large scale sleep studies to cohorts pregnant so that providers and mothers can estimate the risk to the health of the lack of sleep, more comprehensive" Michele a. Williams, ScD, Professor of epidemiology at the school of public health at the University of Washington in Seattle and Co-Director of the Center for perinatal studies at the Swedish Medical Center Seattlein a press release explains.
In the study, more than 1,200 pregnant women in health, interviewed on their habit of sleep since pregnant 14 weeks in pregnancy. Slept 9 hours per night, 55.2% of the women slept seven or eight hours a night and six hours a night dormi 13.7% and 10.6% of the women slept 10 hours or more per night in early pregnancy, said 20.5% of women as a whole.
More than 6% of women have been diagnosed with preeclampsia or pregnancy, high blood pressure in the study. Women who are less than five hours of sleep per night were almost 10 times more likely develop preeclampsia, the study showed.
Good hygiene during pregnancy sleep a must
"It was a fairly innovative study," says Michael Breus, PhD., author of beauty sleep, and the Clinical Director of the Department of sleep for the health of the arrowhead from Glendale, Arizona
"It is a good start, and one of the first, if not the first, like the sleep during pregnancy - specifically Q1 can have sleep, an effect on blood pressure", says"to examine the study."
The points of the study on the importance of who health, said good night's sleep during pregnancy.
To start "must one be careful on what you gain weight," he said. Some pregnant women sleep, develop apnea a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. "If your bed partner notices that you have started snoring or based on breathing, call your doctor for evaluation," he said.
Exercise is known to improve the quality of sleep. He said "If you are comfortable and your doctor said that it may exercise during pregnancy, sleep helps moderate exercise as a whole,". Reduce caffeine is also important during pregnancy and as a way to improve sleep.
He said "Goal a reduction or even elimination of caffeine during pregnancy,". Also, make sure that your mattress, positive during pregnancy.
"If it is to the company, you should a ridge of the mattress, to make it soft," he said.
All scary pregnancy or birth right before bed, to read, stories to avoid Breus said.
He said "This article, read in the morning in the evening, because all he will do is to prevent you from sleep".
Manju Monga MD, David held, Professor and Director of the Department of maternal fetal medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, says that the issues of pregnancy and sleep often travel. "Some women get up and use during the night or too hard in a comfortable position to get the bathroom when you sleep," she said.
"Where napping during the day also it is more difficult, a good night sleep can," she said.
His advice? "Do something relaxing and not stressful relaxation before going to bed," said. And "say your obstetrician if you have trouble sleeping."
