Hi, While I don't have asthma, I did have a case have Reactive Airway Disease last year while we we're TTC. I did a lot of research on asthma in case mine did turn into that. Also whenever you look up RADS you find the 2 go hand in hand. What I found is that the inhaled medications are safe to take. All the websites I read stressed that you are better off taking your meds Than not. It's more dangerous for you and baby if you don't. I was given a prescription of Proventil and Flovent. Took that for several weeks. My grandmother had asthma so its in the family. I would talk to your doctor about it. In the mean time if it were me I would keep taking your meds. You don't want to end up in the ER with breathing problems while your preg. The oral meds it depends on the medication. Good luck. :)
