Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the relationship between asthma and pregnancy.
  • Focus on managing acute, severe asthma exacerbations in pregnant women.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of English-language clinical trials via MEDLINE.
  • Searched using Medical Subject Headings: pregnancy and asthma.
  • Reviewed current practice guidelines and existing reviews.

Main Results:

  • Pregnancy can alter asthma's course, increasing exacerbation risk.
  • Poorly controlled asthma in pregnancy is linked to preterm birth, low birth weight, and preeclampsia.
  • Effective asthma therapy improves maternal and fetal outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Asthma significantly impacts pregnancy, and pregnancy can affect asthma control.
  • Effective asthma management is essential for the well-being of both mother and fetus.
