Asthma in pregnancy

I'm currently pregnant with my first baby and asthmatic. I have been using Fostair inhaler but recently read that it is not safe during pregnancy. I'm curious to know if anyone else has been told to continue using during their pregnancy.

I’d speak to your midwife and see what they say or maybe ask a pharmacist and see if they know.

I’m on 200/6 and my asthma consultant and maternal consultant said for me, asthma medication is so much safer to take than for my asthma to be bad. I’m on lots of medication for asthma and other conditions.

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
