Direct guidance
What to know or do
Ask how pregnancy changes monitoring, what counts as poor control and when to use urgent care. Do not ration or stop prescribed inhalers without the clinician responsible for asthma and pregnancy making a replacement plan.
What changes the answer
- The exact diagnosis, current control, organ function and usual signs of deterioration
- Every medicine, device, specialist and monitoring plan already in use
- Communication, mobility, sensory, examination and support adjustments needed for usable care

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
