Asthma and Inhalers while pregnant?

Ka

Hey y’all. So I have been having bad asthma attacks lately, I’m 15/16 weeks pregnant, and I have used my albuterol inhaler once a day (2 puffs). I just googled it and it showed up as class C drug and passes through the placenta. Now I’m freaking out and want to stop but if I stop then I can’t breathe and reduce the oxygen to the baby. Sooooo lose/lose situation?

Anyone have experience with this??

*** We just relocated and don’t have insurance until my husband starts his job- so no, I don’t have a doctor to ask or call yet. I have always taken my inhaler on an as need basis and my old doctor never mentioned anything.
