For Pregnant Women With Asthma
Pregnancy can be one of the most joyous times in a woman's life. It is also a time when all attention is focused on maintaining optimal health. For women with chronic asthma, maintaining adequate asthma control during pregnancy is of particular importance. Poorly controlled asthma may compromise the health of both mother and baby, and complicate labor and delivery.

Pregnancy And Asthma is an educational resource that offers women with asthma information about asthma control strategies, treatment options, and helpful tips on communicating asthma concerns with healthcare providers. Whether you are pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant, preparing for the healthy months ahead is key to assuring the best possible outcome.

Welcome to Pregnancy And Asthma.

Pregnancy and Asthma Quick Facts:
  -  Premature delivery and low-birth weight are the main adverse outcomes for infants born to a pregnant mother whose asthma was not controlled.
  -  It is safe to continue the allergy shots if a woman has been receiving them before pregnancy. However, it is recommended that allergy shots not be initiated during pregnancy.
  -  It is not very common for asthma attacks to worsen during labor and delivery.
