What is it about?
Sleep disturbances are common during pregnancy. We conducted this cross-sectional survey to explore sleep quality in a population of Chinese women, with the purpose of: (a) calculating the prevalence of sleep disorder during pregnancy, (b) examining differences in sleep quality among the three trimesters, and (c) identifying determinants of sleep quality in pregnant women.
