There are two types of pregnancy tests one is the blood test where as the other one is the urine pregnancy test. The blood test needs to be taken at the doctor’s clinic where as the urine pregnancy test can be taken at home with the help of a Home Pregnancy Test (HPT) that is available in the market. Both these tests check the human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) level of hormone in the blood as well as in the urine.
Pregnancy test works by detecting a certain pregnancy hormone called as the human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) that is secreted by the placenta which develops after the egg gets implanted in the uterus. The process of implantation is that the fertilized egg travels down to the uterus and penetrates the uterus lining so as to settle in the uterus. This process is termed as the implantation i.e. the early stage of placenta which secretes the pregnancy hormone.

Asthma is one of the most common illnesses that can be acquired through contact or even hereditary. Asthma is a disease characterized by difficulty in breathing and lack of oxygen. While an attack of asthma, you may cough, wheeze and strive for air. Such a condition is dangerous as the fetus completely depends on the mother for the supply of oxygen. If the mother herself is striving for air, then the fetus is certainly facing air hunger. You may or may not have history of asthma but still you may get an asthma attack during pregnancy.
Asthma attack may be life threatening for the expecting mother as well as her child. Hence, to treat asthma during pregnancy, it is advisable to take preventive measures to avoid it beforehand. It is not advisable to administer more medications during pregnancy.
