Pregnancy and asthma!? Help plz!!!

Question

I'm 18 weeks pregnant. Dr told me it was fine to keep using my inhaler but I'm still a little hesitant. I completely stopped using it my first trimester and thankfully I didn't need it. But I noticed that one I hit 16 weeks I've been getting more asthma attacks 🙈 have any of you used an inhaler through pregnancy? Do you have any other suggestions? Did you have complications during birth?

Answer

I use a Blue Salbutamol inhaler and a brown Clenil inhaler. My midwife says my asthma needs to be very controlled during my pregnancy so it's a must that I use my inhalers as needed! It hasn't had any affects on baby at all. It's probably more stressful to have multiple attacks during pregnancy so do take your inhaler anytime you may need it!

Answer

I have,  you need oxygen to keep baby healthy.

Answer

What triggers your asthma, I don't have asthma attacks but I do have wheezing episodes and I panic cause of it, I'm 28 weeks and I have used my inhaler during this pregnancy. Before my pregnancy I had no asthma symptoms what so ever and it was very well controlled with no inhaler. I'm fine and my baby is fine

Answer

I use mine too. As my doctor put it, it's more important that you can breathe than to not be able to. Also if you think about it, inhalers are mostly absorbed in the lungs as opposed  to pills.

Answer

I've used mine albuterol inhaler but I need a different one that my doctor said he would switch me to after I have my baby. I don't have asthma, I have reactive bronchial disease. I am due in 5 weeks. I haven't had any problems so far.

Answer

I've been using my inhaler as needed through my pregnancy so far im almost 34 weeks. They havent detected anything wrong with my baby. Doctor told me it wont have any negative effects on your little one. .
