Anyone with asthma?

Question

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and undergoing a flair up. I get sick and then it just sits in my lungs. I'm so scared. What's safe? I don't want to overload my little bean with meds!!

Answer

My asthma sucks right now - and it gets worse in the 3rd trimester! (At least for me it does.) I just ride it out - at this point I would be using a whole inhaler a day! Since it's a class C, I don't want to be using THAT much. I'm out of breath just walking from my bedroom to bathroom (which is in suite!)

Vicks on your feet with a sock over, wet sauna (or for us preggos, sit in the bathroom with a steamy shower going and some Vicks in the bathtub) or a humidifier tends to "kick it" for a day or two for me.

Answer

I'm on several meds. I have albuterol to take as needed. I just looked up it's a category C but we need to be able to breathe.

Answer

What inhaler are you taking? I'm on ventolin and my dr and nurses said its fine and safe to use.
