title: [Asthma and pregnancy].
abstract: During pregnancy the asthma has an incidence of 1-4%. In addition to this pathology we find, during pregnancy, an increased incidence of complications both maternal and fetal. These complications, often serious, happen nearly exclusively in patients with severe asthma and/or badly controlled. Therefore, to reduce the risk of beginning of these complications it's necessary to assess correctly the gravity of asthma before becoming pregnant, to make a careful and periodic control of the respiratory function of the patient, to effect a suitable preventive and/or symptomatic pharmacological therapy and to establish specific sanitary-action measures able to prevent the disease becomes acute.
