Pregnant asthmatic women should continue to use their asthma medication in the lowest dose possible to manage symptoms during pregnancy, according to a new Practice Bulletin released in early February by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists authored by Mitchell P. Dombrowski, M.D, an internationally known expert on high-risk pregnancy and chief of OB/GYN at St. John Hospital and Medical Center.

Famous quotes containing the word pregnancy:
“Back in the days when men were hunters and chestbeaters and women spent their whole lives worrying about pregnancy or dying in childbirth, they often had to be taken against their will. Men complained that women were cold, unresponsive, frigid.... They wanted their women wanton. They wanted their women wild. Now women were finally learning to be wanton and wild—and what happened? The men wilted.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
