AB Asthma  is  a  maternal  medical  condition  that  can  have  a  profound  impact  on  pregnancy.  The  incidence  of  asthma  in  pregnancy  makes  it  a  common  comorbidity  that  a  practitioner  will  encounter  and  the  most  common  respiratory  disorder  found  in  pregnancy.  Asthma  affects  approximately  4%  to  8%  of  pregnant  women  and  the  prevalence  seems  to  be  increasing.1  The  range  of  severity  and  high  prevalence  of  the  condition  can  make  it  an  overlooked  part  of  the  medical  history,  even  though  it  can  become  a  life-threatening  condition.
