The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has issued new guidelines in the management of asthma symptoms in pregnant women, saying that it is safer for both fetus and mother for pregnant asthmatic women to continue to use their asthma medication in the lowest dose possible to manage symptoms during their pregnancy.

Regarding allergy immunotherapy shots, the recommendation is as follows:

Women who already use immunotherapy (allergy shots) at or near maintenance level to improve asthma symptoms may continue getting shots during pregnancy. However, women should not begin immunotherapy during pregnancy. Allergy shots are typically given with lower doses of serum to start and then are gradually increased to higher levels. These escalating doses may cause anaphylaxis during pregnancy, which has been associated with maternal and fetal death.
