I've been using my albuterol for the past week because of humidity. I was given the ok by my midwife and my ob. As long as you follow the directions you and your little one will be fine. My doctor said it's better to be breathing and have a little medication in your system, then have an asthma attackand deprive your baby of oxygen.

Albuterol is considered safe to use in pregnancy, and as your doc said, definitely gotta keep you breathing! :)
