Monitoring of pregnant patients with asthma starts with an evaluation of progressive fetal growth. Growth during the second and third trimesters should be determined by careful serial measurments of fundal height.Confirmation with sequential sonographic evaluation of fetal growth is indicated if the parturient’s asthma is uncontrolled or if growth restriction is suspected by lagging fundal height. In the third trimester , antenatal surveillance with nonstress tests,contraction stress tests ,or biophysical profiles may be used to ensure fetal well-being .
