It could also be symptomatic of something more serious like gestational diabetes or sleep apnea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasal strips could help reduce the intensity of your snoring, as might changing your sleeping position. Proper nutrition may also help prevent it, but like many symptoms, it is difficult to forecast whether or not somebody will be a pregnancy snorer, particularly if they did not snore prior to conception. If you or partner think your snoring might be interfering with your breathing, it&#8217;s probably a good idea to let your healthcare provider know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Reviewed by the Ovia Health Clinical Team<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/guide\/10189\/science-behind-sleep-during-pregnancy\">Sleep during pregnancy: the science behind those ZZZs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/guide\/10282\/shortness-of-breath-when-pregnant\">Shortness of breath when pregnant<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;Sleeping By The Trimesters.&#8221; <em>Sleep Foundation.<\/em> National Sleep Foundation,\u00a02017.
