Yes: Yes, your baby needs oxygen to thrive. Stress is not good for your baby. Please get medical attention for both you and your bsby's sake！.

It might: A dry cough can be a sign of active asthma problems. If you are having shortness of breath more than twice a week, then you need to be taking a controller medication every day. There are several medications that are considered safe during pregnancy. Keep in mind that if your baby is not getting enough oxygen, this is more damaging than any asthma inhalers.

M.D. visit needed.: The dry cough that you are having is most likely related to your asthma. Identifying the triggers of your symptoms, for example cold air then developing a plan to avoid the trigger is part of the management. In addition, using a form of anti inflammatory medication such as prednisone or an inhaled steroid, will help you manage your symptoms. In addition sinusitis/reflux/aspiration are possible

See doctor ASAP: Asthma exacerbation during pregnancy poses danger to the fetus. You need to see a doctor ASAP and may need a short course of steroid. Don't delay another minute.
