Asthma treatment while pregnant

JoJoMama730

Did anybody ask the doc if it's ok to use a rescue inhaler or nebulizer during pregnancy? I didn't think to ask when I made my appt.

I used albuterol when I had walking pneumonia while pregnant. I was in my third tri, not sure if that makes a difference. Ask your doc.

My doctor told me when i was pregnant that it was ok. It is better for you to breath and get oxygen to your baby then if you are unable to breath. I use to be on albuterol only while I was pregnant, but in the last year my asthma has gotten worse and im on an actual medication (symbicort) and I have been reading alot and even my regular doctor said that it should be ok while TTC.

Fixed it!

Hope you find the answer you are looking for, but most importantly talk to your doctor!!

When I saw my PCP, she said it was fine to take my albuterol inhaler.  I don't use my Advair (regular medication) unless I find myself using my albuterol too frequently, but she said if I didn't need it, it'd be better to have less stuff in my system.  

I'd talk to your doc.
