If you are pregnant and have a history of asthma, you may already be worried about how to deal with it and still have a safe pregnancy. Your asthma alone puts you and your baby at a higher risk than someone without it.
The bad news is, while you are pregnant you may have more attacks and may need to take more medications that can be harmful to your baby.
It is general knowledge that during pregnancy, you are to avoid absolutely all kinds of medications.
But, since your asthma may be life threatening, taking your medications outweighs the possible risks of the medication itself.
In spite of your asthma, with proper monitoring and management your symptoms can be controlled and you can still have a safe pregnancy and have a healthy baby.
There are signs that will tell you that your asthma symptoms are controlled like: being physically active with no asthma symptoms manifested, a continuous 8 hours of good night sleep and a good peak flow meter.
Signs of a healthy fetus like good fetal growth according to gestational age, good fetal heart tone and good fetal movement all show signs that you have a controlled asthma.
