- Description
- Asthma is one of the most common chronic medical conditions to complicate pregnancy. While there is evidence that asthma adversely impacts on some pregnancy outcomes, conversely there is evidence that pregnancy may result in a change in the clinical status of a woman with asthma. Understanding the mechanisms contributing to these events will improve the management of asthma during pregnancy. Coordinated asthma and antenatal care that combines optimal medication use with self-management skills and careful monitoring of the mother and her baby form the basis of effective management of asthma in pregnancy.
