Allergic Conditions: Pregnancy and Asthma

During pregnancy, mothers-to-be may feel uneasy taking medications. However, if a pregnant woman has asthma, it is doubly important that her symptoms be well-managed to increase both her health and that of her baby. Uncontrolled asthma can be a threat to maternal well-being and fetal growth and survival. The goals of asthma management and treatment during pregnancy are the same as for other patients—to prevent hospitalization, emergency room visits, work loss and chronic disability.
