Asthma and pregnancy

Asthma is dangerous due to its exacerbations, breathing problems cause a lack of oxygen in the blood (hypoxia), which affects not only the mother, but also the future baby. Therefore, during pregnancy, it is necessary to treat asthma, and most importantly, to prevent and prevent the development of exacerbations. A future mother should know everything about her disease, possess self-control skills and be able to use medications correctly. Remember that uncontrolled hypoxia will do more harm than the possible side effects of medications, and only a doctor can prescribe treatment.For women with asthma, there are many issues that need to be addressed before pregnancy begins, or at least at the very beginning of pregnancy.:1) It is necessary to complete training in an Asthma school, 2) choose a planned therapy that ensures good control of the disease, 3) develop an action plan for exacerbations, 4) learn self-control skills using a "peak flowmeter" device, 5) master inhalation techniques.For all these questions, you need to consult a pulmonologist.The second group of issues is related to the fact that asthma is associated with a high sensitivity to certain allergens (pollen, household dust, mold) that provoke and exacerbate the disease. By eliminating contact with such allergens, the risk of exacerbations can be avoided or reduced. Here you need an allergological examination, which is better done before pregnancy. On the recommendation of an allergist, rebuild your life so as to avoid contact with allergens.First of all, you need to reduce the amount of dust in your home. Allergen breeding grounds are carpets, upholstered furniture, curtains, stacks of books, and scattered clothes. Get rid of objects that collect dust, keep upholstered furniture to a minimum, if possible, replace it with leather. Carpets and carpeting are not desirable. Prefer vertical blinds to curtains. All things should be put away in cupboards, and books should be on a glazed shelf.Keep the air humidity in your home at 40-50%. Breathing will become better, and the amount of suspended dust will become less. At the same time, too much humidity can lead to the proliferation of house dust mites. There are special devices for cleaning the air from dust, harmful odors and gases, daily wet cleaning is useful, the vacuum cleaner must be equipped with a special filter, as in an air purifier.A bed made of ordinary fabrics, feather pillows and wool blankets are an attractive breeding ground for household allergens. Use fabrics that do not attract dust and have good air and moisture permeability. Ensure that the bedding is properly maintained. This is regular cleaning and washing at high temperatures. In summer, it is good to dry in direct sunlight, and in winter - to freeze in the fresh frosty air.Dangerous sources of allergens are pets. And not so much the animals themselves as their secretions - wool, dandruff, saliva, feathers, bird excrement. And if the expectant mother has a positive reaction to these allergens, then this is doubly dangerous not only for her, but also for the baby. Remember, you need to take all measures to avoid contact with any allergens.You might not have to talk about smoking, but smoking is not only harmful in itself. You need to get rid of any contact with tobacco smoke. Indoor smoking is prohibited, and the baby's predisposition to allergic diseases increases 3-4 times.Every mother should know that there is only a risk of developing an allergic disease, and not the fatal inevitability of inherited asthma.
