Yes.: Pregnancy may not affect your asthma, make it better, or make it worse. Now you have two lives to protect yours & the new family member growing inside of you. Please work with an obstetrician & an asthma specialist to optimize medication ensuring that you don't have asthma episodes during pregnancy. Inhaled meds used for asthma rarely adversely affect the fetus. The best drug for baby is oxygen.

Astma & pregnancy: As an asthmatic you would be classified as a high risk pregnancy. It is imperative for your asthma to be aggressively controlled. Discuss with your OB seeing an allergist or pulmonologist.
