Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 October 2008
Extract
Asthma is the most common significant chronic medical condition affecting young adults and it is therefore often encountered in pregnancy. Approximately 3% of women of child-bearing age suffer some degree of asthma and this prevalence is increasing. Some of the apparent increase is due to heightened awareness of the condition, although air pollution and increased childhood exposure to house dust mite may also be contributing.
