Abstract
Respiratory disorders are not uncommon during pregnancy. Bronchial asthma is a prevalent disease in pregnancy and the interaction between pregnancy and asthma is inconsistent. Women should be counselled that asthma should be controlled in pregnancy and that medications should not be stopped for fear of teratogenicity. In this chapter, we will discuss respiratory disorders, particularly asthma and cystic fibrosis, in pregnancy, their complications, and management protocols.
