title: [Pregnancy and bronchial asthma].
abstract: Asthma is one of the most common potentially serious medical problems to complicate pregnancy. Issues commonly raised by the clinician caring for the pregnant asthmatic patient include: 1) effects of pregnancy on asthma; 2) effects of asthma on pregnancy, and 3) management of asthma in pregnancy. Recent asthma medication carries less risk to the fetus than a severe asthma attack. Inadequately treated asthma can cause maternal and fetal hypoxaemia, which leads to complications during pregnancy and poorer birth outcomes.
