Hi everyone. Is anyone asthmatic? (Cant spell sorry) I am and all the way throught the pregnancy Iv used my ventalin inhaler and I didnt think to ask the MW if it would have any effects, now im startin to worry a bit that it could be affecting my LO and im just wondering if anyone else has been using ventalin to put my mind at ease!

I use it hun. I asked my doctor about it at the begining of my pregnancy and his answer was its better to use your inhaler than not be able to breathe!

A bad asthma is far more dangerous than your inhaler to the baby hun, you not getting enough oxygen means theres not enough in your blood which can affect the baby if it happens alot. So just you take your inhaler when you need it ok!
