If you or someone you know had a child with birth defects and you suspect SAPS may have played a role, we want to hear from you. Please write to us at SAPS@dreamdoctor.com.
Please be sure to include the defects the child was born with, and also include details about the pregnancy and delivery.
- Was pre-eclampsia present?
- Was the child delivered early or with low birth weight?
- Did placenta abruptia occur?
- What was the mother's age, height and weight at the time of delivery?
- Does the mother have a history of snoring or witnessed pauses in breathing during sleep?
- Is there a family history of sleep disordered breathing (snoring and sleep apnea)?
- Is there a family history of disease or birth defects among other family members?
