Early pregnancy and asthma??

[kmac87]

I have asthma but hardly ever have to use my inhaler. I have been having trouble catching my breath lately, and had to pull out my nebulizer last night. Could pregnancy be causing me the added discomfort or is it maybe just from the weather? I didn't notice it with my other 2 pregnancies.

I am having the same. I read that for some reason their asthma becomes better and for others, worse. Both my asthma and allergies are awful, but I am hesitant to use more asthma medicine as the ones I use are Class C and MAY cause birth defects.

Ooh yeah I'd stay away from those. I'm not using my steroidal inhaler, just the albuterol which I've used in my previous pregnancies.
