I have asthma and use symbicort regularly, now that im pregnant im scared to continue without knowing. Definitely planning to ask my gynac before next dose. Has any asthma momma here used it during pregnancy?
Generally, asthma control is super important during pregnancy, but you must consult your pulmonologist and gynac. They will evaluate the benefits and adjust the dose to make sure it's completely safe for the baby.
My doctor told me that keeping asthma under control is crucial because the baby needs constant oxygen. But since Symbicort has active ingredients, only your doctor can decide if it's safe for your specific case or if you need to switch.
Dealing with breathing issues on top of pregnancy symptoms is so tough, I really feel for you. Please don't take any chances or stop any inhaler on your own. Call your doctor today to get their expert opinion.
I use an inhaler too and was so worried about its safety. Did your doctor specifically prescribe Symbicort for you, or were you using it before pregnancy?
