I have asthma and have had two boys and am about to have my third and have had to use asthma medication in all three pregnancies. Like the person below said you can casue more harm if you can't breath.

>>Get back on the Azmacort as your doctor recommended! If your asthma is out of control you are at risk for a serious attack. The risk to your baby if you can't breathe is a lot worse than the  very small amount of medication that enters your bloodstream from a maintainance inhaler such as Azmacort. Thousands of women,including myself, have delivered healthy babies while taking asthma medication. More frequent use of your rescue inhaler is a sign of worsening asthma- listen to your doctor.
