From the article: Asthma and Pregnancy
Most pregnant women would rather not take medications, unless it's absolutely required. But what constitutes a required medication? This depends on the woman and the severity of the underlying problem for which the medication is being taken for. Should asthma be one of these medical conditions that a pregnant woman should take medication for? This depends on the safety of the medication and the severity of the symptoms. Have you or would you take asthma medications while pregnant? Why or why not? Would you do it again?
