asthma and labour

[Jo & Dean Bainbridge]

Hi Guys, I know that some posted something about asthma recently and I went back to the archives but couldn't find much.  I have a lady who was hospitalised for 9 days for a prolonged asthma attack.  She is now 33 weeks and went into preterm labour on the weekend.  She is on Adalat and is concerned that she is not prepared enough if she was to have another asthma attack.  She is still hoping to birth at home (her 2nd home birth after a traumatic cs and vaginal birth) but would like to get some ideas from the list about how asthma is monitored in hospital.  Can anyone offer any information? cheers Jo Bainbridge founding member CARES SA email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 08 8365 7059 birth with trust, faith & love...
