Pregnancy and asthma26 April 2005
A new study explores how to handle asthma in pregnancy 

About one in ten pregnant women suffer some degree of asthma, making it the most common chronic illness in pregnancy. But there is still a lack of evidence about the complications caused by asthma and its treatment. 

Jenni talks to Professor Richard Hubbard, head of a major new study at Nottingham University which is aimed at shining some light on the way women can best manage their asthma in pregnancy. They're joined by obstetric physician, Dr David Williams.
