Hi all, I am pregnant with my second child (just entering my third trimester). I have had more cough colds viruses and flu (despite having the vaccine) than I have ever had before in short period. It’s been constant for 6 months and each time my asthma gets worse and I can’t sleep due to wheezing and coughing. I have also experienced a lot of work stress which I think is playing into the asthma and also how often I am getting ill, that and picking up everything my daughter brings home from nursery. I am doing my best to look after myself, take it easy and not do too much, I have looked at my diet too although I do have a pretty good diet. I am just so desperate to get off this carrousel of illness before the baby arrives. Any advice or tips very welcome. I also developed acid reflux post my first child so am curious to know how that might also play into things.

Sorry to hear you are unwell. I too was poorly through most of my pregnancy (22 years ago) and had to have antibiotics and steroids! But baby arrived safely. I was a wreck but he was ok!
Hope things improve and all the best for your family.
Hi, my asthma was pretty rubbish throughout my pregnancy. At the end, it was hard to tell when I was short of breath due to asthma and which was baby pushing up! I also had more than normal colds! They decided to induce me at 36 + 4 and almost immediately, my asthma improved!! My baby is now 6 weeks and my asthma feels under control again. It does get better!!
