I have mild asthma since childhood and now that we are planning, im a little worried. Will it cause problems for the baccha or for me during these 9 months? Anyone here who is asthmatic and had a smooth pregnancy?
Don't worry too much, just make sure you keep your house dust-free and clean. My husband used to do the dusting so I didn't get triggered. Keep taking your regular inhaler if your doctor has said it's safe, and avoid cold drinks or things that cause cough.
I read on my pregnancy tracker app that controlled asthma doesn't harm the baby at all. But you must track your breathing patterns and note down if you use your rescue inhaler more than twice a week. Show that log to your doctor so they can keep your dosage accurate.
Just think of it as giving your baby some extra drama prep for life lol! Jokes apart, just keep your inhaler close by like it is your second phone. Tell your doctor about your asthma history on your very first visit and they will handle everything beautifully.
Hello dear! Yes, you can absolutely have a safe and healthy pregnancy with asthma, many moms do. The key is to keep your asthma under control and never stop your inhalers without asking your doctor. Just let your gynac and pulmonologist work together to manage it.
Please be very careful with asthma bcoz low oxygen levels can sometimes affect the baby's growth. I had a really tough time in my third trimester when my breathing got worse, so I had to be on strict monitoring. Don't ignore any breathlessness and consult your doctor immediately to adjust your safe medicines.
Look, untreated asthma is far more dangerous for the baby than the inhalers. I have had asthma through both my pregnancies and delivered healthy kids. Just take your safe preventer inhalers as prescribed by your doctor and don't try any self-treatment.
Actually yaar, it is quite common and manageable if you take precautions. My cousin has asthma and she had a perfectly normal delivery. Just keep your inhaler handy and avoid dusty areas or triggers, simple!
I panicked so much when I had a mild asthma attack in my 4th month, I thought it would harm my baby! But my gynac explained that as long as I take my safe inhalers, the baby is getting plenty of oxygen. That really put my mind at ease, so relax, you will be fine.
