INFORMATION FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE ASTHMA DURING PREGNANCY OR BREASTFEEDING
What is asthma?
Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the lungs in pregnant women the same way it does in non-pregnant women. The airways in the lungs become inflamed, narrow and swollen, and produce extra mucus, making it difficult to breathe.
The airways in the lungs are a network of tubes that move air in and out of the lungs. When a person is exposed to an asthma trigger like cold air, tobacco smoke, or allergens, the muscles around the airways tighten and narrow the airways. Swelling of the airways and increased mucus make airways even narrower. All of these events lead to the symptoms of asthma.
