Sleep disturbances during pregnancy are common, and studies show many things contribute to them, including maternal age, anxiety, maternal obesity, and depression. The overall prevalence of insomnia during pregnancy is 38.2%, with insomnia symptoms much more common in the third trimester.
Other studies show that insomnia during pregnancy correlates with higher rates of complications for the mother, including preeclampsia and gestational hypertension, and increased likelihood of mental health issues. Overall, insomnia leads to a 24 percent increase in severe complications for the mother.
