What if a mother’s breathing could shape her baby’s future health?
It’s a question few people ask yet the answer connects pregnancy, birth outcomes, and a child’s lifelong airway development.
In this episode, Dr. Meggie Graham takes you inside one of the most overlooked conversations in health care: how maternal breathing during pregnancy influences everything from sleep quality and preeclampsia risk to a baby’s ability to latch, feed, and grow.
As hormones reshape the body and airway, many women experience nasal congestion, snoring, and disrupted sleep for the first time. But what if these changes aren’t “just pregnancy symptoms”? What if they signal an airway issue that could cascade into hypertension, early induction, and preterm birth setting the stage for feeding and breathing struggles in newborns?
Dr. Graham connects these dots and shows how airway-focused dentists are uniquely positioned to make a difference. By recognizing mouth breathing, fatigue, or poor sleep in pregnant patients, dentists can help identify at-risk moms early and offer supportive, non-invasive interventions that protect both mother and baby.
You will learn:
When moms breathe better, babies grow better. Airway awareness in pregnancy isn’t just a dental topic, it’s preventive care at its most powerful.
