On November 18th, we hosted a workshop on Asthma and Pregnancy, presented by Dr. Jennifer Namazy, Board-Certified Allergist and Immunologist with Scripps Clinic Medical Group.
Slides from the presentation can be found here and the recording can be found here.
Dr. Namazy pointed us to the Breathe 4 Baby Toolkit, a resource for educating patients and providers regarding asthma prevalence, diagnosis, and management in pregnancy to improve outcomes for pregnant people with asthma and their babies. This includes the Pregnancy and Lactation Asthma Plan, the validated pregnancy ACT (p-ACT), and other educational resources.
She also encourages patients to join pregnancy registries so that we can continue to learn about the impact of medications. They can be found here.
