April 12, 2007 (Press Release) --
Asthma can cause serious complications during pregnancy if the condition is uncontrolled. About 8 percent of women in their childbearing years are asthmatic, the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology says.
When women who have asthma become pregnant, their symptoms could well change, the ACAAI says.
Women who have severe asthma are likely to have worsening symptoms. Women with mild asthma may actually see an improvement or no change in symptoms.
Symptoms that asthmatic women have during their first pregnancy are likely to resurface during subsequent pregnancies.
The most severe asthma symptoms are most likely to surface between weeks 24 and 36 of pregnancy.
A woman's asthma symptoms usually revert to pre-pregnancy symptoms within three months of giving birth.
