Asthma while pregnant?

So I haven't had an asthma attack in 6-7 years. Nothing happened during my last pregnancy except the normal preggo symptoms. This pregnancy however, I've been very sick even have lost 10 pounds and I'm 15 weeks. And 2 weeks ago I've started having asthma again, EVERYDAY. Went to OBGYN who gave me a (safer) inhaler. Problem is, it's not working that well. I can't do any work throughout the day, and barely been sleeping at night. I have an appointment with a specialist, but it's in 9 more days :( Has anyone else been having such a hard time and what is helping you ??
