Hey I am 12 weeks and this is my second pregnancy. I've had asthma almost all my life and on my last pregnancy I only had two attacks and they were on the very beginning. Now this is my third time, and right now I feel so miserable! Any advice on how to control it??? I have my inhaler that the doctor just prescribed to me but it doesn't seem to be helping =/

    I have asthma however mine is mild and has not given me any problems. The only thing I notice is that I now breathe heavier slightly and that perfumes and some other smells make my chest wheeze a little bit. I have also been told that pets make it worse which is why we got rid of our cat years ago whilst my mother was pregnant and I was a little girl.

    @Beatrice1436 I don't have any pets, I'm allergic to cats so I stay away from them, weather change is what really screws me over =/
    @denois you are so lucky your asthma is not acting up, sometimes im scared to cough so hard that it affects the baby =( the doctor gave me proventil for an inhaler.

    I have it and before i got pregnant I was on cingular and 3 different inhalers now all I can do is use the rescue inhaler and it doesn't help and I have attacks a lot my doctor just told me yesterday that the steam from like a hot shower not being in it but how the bathroom fills up and just sit there breathing it in is suppose to help

    I have asthma and am having my 5th. I've been having attacks because my friend who has cats came over. Everytime im around her I have an attack within hours. I've become more sensitive this time around I guess .

On ur back bc that's makes it harder to. The futher along yu get the worse its getting for me. I'm abt to be 28 weeks Thursday. Nd the pollen outside dnt help. I really dnt kno what to do or if the doc can help 4real.

    I have had pretty bad asthma all my life. If you can't breath your baby can't either. With my first child my doctor recommend that I keep taking my asthma meds. Back then I was taking advair and ventolin. Baby came perfect in every way. I am taking my med s with this pregnancy too. Learn what the risks are with having asthma attacks vs taking medications to prevent them. Good luck and breath well. ASTHMA SUCKS!
