Preterm birth is still quite high. Causes of premature delivery is also quite diverse, as nutrition is not met properly, the accident, and the consequences of the disease suffered by the mother.

One of the diseases that can lead to premature birth is asthma. Swedish study shows there are approximately 13,261 cases of premature birth in pregnant women with asthma.

Dr Bertil Forsberg, a researcher from the University of Umea explains, “Inflammatory response associated with severe asthma can affect the placenta, especially in early pregnancy,” he said, as quoted from Health24.

Dr Fosberg also showed that mothers who suffer from asthma may be more susceptible to air pollution and viral infections. “It is important that women who suffer from asthma should be aware that their risk for premature delivery possibilities slightly increased,” said another researcher from the University of Michigan, Dr. Meilan Han.

Therefore, to maintain the health of both the active role of the mother’s need to do a check up to the doctor or the nearest hospital. Control is very important to maintain the health of pregnant mothers of preterm birth.
