Abstract
Asthma is a common chronic respiratory condition that affects approximately 10% of adult women in the United States. Pregnancy can present unique challenges for women with asthma, as changes in the body can alter the severity and management of asthma-related respiratory symptoms. In this article, we review the current understanding of asthma during pregnancy, including the direct effects of the disease state on the pregnant woman and fetus, risk factors for poor control of disease, as well as current treatment recommendations.
