Asthma and Pregnancy...

[MrsGruffalo]

Hi lovely ladies...

I'm currently in the middle of a horrible cold, which is making my asthma awful, and I was wondering what sort of effect pregnancy has on asthma... is anyone able to shed a little light on what it was like for them please?

Many thanks,

Mrs G

I have always wondered the same question because my fiance and myself both have asthma. Hopefully someone can help us out with this question

with my first son, I took an inhaler throughout my pregnancy . Your doctor should tell you which medication is safe. Now if pregnancy affect asthma, yes, and sometimes it made my asthma worst as I was taking inhaler more than I normally do(especially if your asthma is excercise induced)

I haven't had asthma for YEARs since I went fragrance-free natural products .furniture wood polish triggered my asthma the most so endust hypoallergenic made a huge difference . thats what made me realize I should switch all my cleaning products. So I don't think I need my inhaler this time.

So far I've found a noticeable difference although its not alarming, especially considering it isn't cold outside yet. My inhalers are safe to take though, but I am finding myself quite breathless on a morning when I first wake up, which I'm not used to.
