In this episode of sMater, we speak with Mater Hospital Brisbane obstetric medicine fellow Dr Jolene Ng about asthma during pregnancy.

With Australia having one of the highest rates of asthma in the world, Jolene explains the impact of this condition on mum and baby during pregnancy and the importance of managing symptoms.

Note - May 2025: Dr Jolene Ng has relocated to Sydney and is no longer consulting at Mater Private Hospital Brisbane.
