Asthma is the most common chronic disease complication during pregnancy. By improving asthma management we have reduced asthma exacerbations by 50% during pregnancy and their babies suffered less often from bronchiolitis in the first year of life, which can be a life threatening infection. As bronchiolitis also promotes the development of asthma we want to investigate whether better asthma management in pregnancy leads to less lung inflammation and better lung function in the children.
