Not just babies, almost everybody does. There is too little physical activity during sleep to generate enough CO2 to compensate overbreathing, so many people hyperventilate mildly, usually in the morning hours (that explains why asthmatics have problems often at that time). Mouth breathing makes hyperventilation even much worse. Babies (as well as adults) with stuffed noses sleep with open mouths during the night and overbreathing will cause their noses to be stuffed even more. So the key is to keep the mouth shut and the nose open. Nasal breathing decreases the chance of hyperventilation.

Can lack of sleep during pregnancy affect the unborn baby and how?

The baby will get the sleep he needs but it's you who should be worried for yourself. Being tired and need ot sleep more is common during pregnancy so it's important to fix schedules etc so you get sleep. If it's a medical problem speak to your doctor. Without sleep we get sick and stress added on that can lead to problems in the pregnancy because you feel bad.It will get worse when the baby is born and then there's a increased risk for post partum depression.
