Difficulty breathing

[OurBabyDerp]

I have asthma and for the past couple of days i've struggled with my breathing, i'm 26w today so i know my lungs are getting cramped but i'm not sure if this is something to be more concerned about because tonight i've been struggling quite bad and just can't seem to catch my breath properly. I have a cold and my nose is only slightly blocked but it's just as bad if i try and breathe through my mouth. I'm not sure what to do?

Inhalers should be 2 puffs every 2-4 hours. And taking more than that will not help if the original dose isn't working. So you may need a treatment. My doctor prescribed me an inhaler and the meds for my nebulizer so i can do my own treatments if my inhaler doesn't work. Good luck. Although i really think you should get the treatment anyway. Not being able to breathe s u c k s.

I'm going to take up to my maximum dose of my inhalers i have and i guess if it doesn't get any better then i'll try and get to the hospital :/

Where is your inhaler? My asthma seems to get worse with pregnancy, but your inhaler should be working, if not tell your ob. She should prescribe you another one. In the mean time, if you are struggling to breathe, go to the er and get a treatment asap!
