I have asthma since childhood and use my inhaler regularly. Now that im pregnant my MIL is saying dont use it, it will harm baccha. But I cant breathe properly without it. What should I do yaar?
Oh, this is such a valid concern! I remember researching every single medication and getting so anxious about it. But with inhalers for conditions like asthma, your doctor will almost always tell you to continue using them. The risk of not breathing properly is much higher for both you and baby than the tiny risk from the inhaler itself. Please, please confirm with your gynac, but don't hesitate to use it if you need it.
I had asthma before pregnancy and I was so scared to use my inhaler once I found out I was pregnant. I thought it might harm the baby. But my doctor quickly corrected me, saying it's actually *more* dangerous not to use it if you need it. So yes, they are generally considered safe and important. Don't worry, just use what your doc prescribed.
If you have a respiratory condition, it's vital that you can breathe properly. This is not something to take chances with. Your doctor would have prescribed an inhaler after carefully considering your pregnancy. Please follow their advice meticulously. It's so important to keep yourself stable and healthy for the baby's sake.
Oh my god, imagine not being able to breathe properly AND dealing with pregnancy cravings at the same time! My gynac told me if you need an inhaler for asthma, it's usually much safer to use it than to let your oxygen levels drop. So yes, generally, they're okay. Don't compromise on breathing for anything, sweets and all can wait!
As a breastfeeding mom, I've learned that doctors always weigh the benefits and risks very carefully. If you have asthma, an inhaler is essential for your breathing, and getting enough oxygen is super important for the baby too. So generally, doctors will say yes, it is safe to continue. Pls check with your own doc.
