Asthma During Pregnancy

Most women who have asthma can have a safe pregnancy. If you have severe asthma attacks before pregnancy, you may have them during pregnancy also. Usually the medications you use before pregnancy can be used while you are pregnant. Discuss medication use with your healthcare provider. I've found that many women feel better and have fewer problems with asthma if they increase their fluid intake during pregnancy. Try it—you should increase your fluid intake during pregnancy anyway.
