If you have poorly controlled or moderate to severe asthma or you're recovering from a severe asthma attack, your health care provider might recommend a series of ultrasounds starting at week 32 of your pregnancy to monitor your baby's growth and activity.
Your health care provider might also recommend that you pay close attention to your baby's activity level.
