Abstract
Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by bronchial hyper reactivity and a variable degree of airway obstruction. The exacerbation of asthama in pregnancy and labouris common due to theimmunological and physiological changes of pregnancy itself. However, the adverse consequences are preventable by following proper guidelines regarding its control. The study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology SKIMS soura over a period of two years. A total of 240 pregnant women were included in the study after taking a proper informed consent. Fetomaternal outcome was evaluated. Pregnancy is adversely affected by exacerbations of asthama. There is increased risk of hypertensive disorders (35.8%) of pregnancy, preterm labour (19.58%), use of additional drugs for asthama control (66.66%). Exacerbation of asthama in pregnancy and labour can be avoided by lifestyle modification and strict drug control throughout pregnancy. In absence of exacerbations fetomaternal outcome is good.
