Asthma During Pregnancy

Thank you, I was scared of having a asthma attack while giving birth.

Don't even worry. I've been a severe asthmatic since I was two months old and haven't really had a bad asthma attack during labor. I didn't have one at all with my son and towards the end with my daughter they put me on oxygen because I'd grown shrot of breath. But you'll be fine! I was terrified the first time around, but now I'm confident my asthma will stay in check with a lot of deep breathing!

I have asthma, it usually only comes around in the winter, but lately ive been Short of Breath more...and my friend told me she DID have an asthma attack during labor....so this kinda made me think.....i might get one too....eeek...

everyone still using their inhalor during pregnancy?
