My dad and I just had a chimney fire. I was home alone and taking a nap. Thank god my dog woke me up. But the house was already filled wt smoke. I inhaled a lot it. Not.meaning to. I panicked when I woke up. Could this harm my babies? I have asthma so it messed with my breathing badly. Could that harm them to? I'm really freaking out.

The fire department should have had the emt take you to the er. Go get checked out. The smoke doubles in fetus. I had a carbon monoxide to get really an issue and had to go on oxygen. Don't wait
You might feel fine and the baby might not.

Go to the doctor or urgent care and get checked out.  If nothing else they may give you another ultrasound just to put your mind at ease.  It's not good to stress and wonder.  Good luck hun and let us know how you're doing.
