Yes: Coughing and wheezing suggest asthma or less commonly a cardiac condition. During pregnancy, asthma can worsen in 1/3 of women. It is imperative that asthma during pregnancy be controlled to decrease risks to the fetus. An asthma specialist can work with the ob/gyn to develop a treatment plan to prevent asthma symptoms. Uncontrolled asthma has more risks than the medications to treat asthma.
