I am an asthmatic and have just found out that I am pregnant. Will my asthma get worse with pregnancy?

Many women find that their asthma changes during pregnancy. Whether one's asthma improves or worsens during pregnancy, good asthma control during pregnancy is important for the health of the mother and baby. Asthma can be managed by continuing with medications, regular doctor visits and developing a personal asthma action plan for pregnancy and delivery. One should inform the obstetrician about one's asthma and share the written asthma action plan.
