Post Is pregnancy okay on cpap? 
I was just diagnosed last week and just got my numbers today.  I am only 31 years old and would like to know if anyone knows if it is okay to be pregnant and on CPAP.  I am not pregnant now, but wouldn't want to rule out a 2nd child.

You don't want to be pregnant and *not* on a CPAP if you need one!  You want your baby and yourself to get as much oxygen as possible!

Hi,

Very important that you are on cpap if pregnant (and have OSA), to ensure no damage to baby from lack of oxygen.
