Asthma pump during pregnancy safe?

Question

Hey guys so I was prescribed Ventolin aka albuterol before I found out I was pregnant. I don't use it often just when my airways tighten. I have an appt with a pulmonogist on Monday but I wanted to know if any of you ladies used it during pregnancy? Is it safe? I'm scared to you use it 😔

Answer

I've researched this as well and read that it was safe. Of course you'll want to follow up with your dr.

Answer

Safer than not being able to breathe, that's for sure.

Answer

My doctor said I would be fine. I also checked online and everything I've read for mine says it's ok. Still ask your doctor. I have tried to cut back how often I take mine out of caution. But if I need it, I of course take it. Maybe only one puff vs two also. The stress of not breathing or getting enough oxygen could be a bigger problem for the baby in my opinion.

Answer

I've used it when I was pregnant with all 5 of my children but I did talk to my Dr to get the ok to continue.

Answer

Hi, it should be safe to use during pregnancy, however please be advised of this horror story during one woman's experience during labor: http://narrative.ly/i-went-to-the-hospital-to-give-birthand-tested-positive-for-meth/. It was because of her inhaler. Please speak with your doctor.
