Objective To analyze the correlation between sleep quality and pregnancy complications, as well as maternal and fetal delivery outcomes. Methods A sleep quality survey was conducted on 221 pregnant women in our hospital, and pregnancy complications, fetal development, and delivery outcomes were tracked and compared with pregnant women without sleep problems. Results There are varying degrees of sleep quality issues during pregnancy. Sleep quality varies at different stages of pregnancy, with a more significant decline in sleep quality during the late stages of pregnancy. The incidence of depression and anxiety symptoms was 30.1% and 35.3%. The incidence of pregnancy hypertension, diabetes, low birth weight infants and cesarean section rate in the sleep quality problem group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Conclusion The problem of sleep quality during pregnancy is relatively significant. Depression, anxiety and gestational weeks are important influencing factors of sleep quality during pregnancy. Poor sleep quality can increase the incidence of complications such as pregnancy induced hypertension and diabetes, thus affecting the maternal and fetal outcomes.
