First of all congrats and I'm sorry you're sick! You're so close to the end! I remember it starts to get hard to sleep and eat right around the 33-week mark...
There are some good threads in this group on asthma in pregnancy if you search for those words in the archives.
It's always better to err on the safe side with asthma in pregnancy and to take meds etc. rather than risk having an exacerbation.
What inhaler does your doctor want you to take and how often?
The lungs also just get kind of smushed right around this time because the baby is so big and crushing your ribs. I remember feeling breathless then.
Take good care and definitely ring up the asthma nurse right away if you're having symptoms. You're never bothering anyone when both your health and the baby's health are in the picture this close to delivery! I hope it all goes smoothly and you get to enjoy cuddling with your little one in just a few weeks!
I know this is an older post but I thought I would chime in.
I have had asthma my whole life. I was not on daily inhalers when I was pregnant though. But then I got sick. My OB insisted that I get back on my flovent daily and albuterol, if needed, to be sure the baby was getting enough oxygen. He even wrote my prescriptions, with my assistance, since he knew very little about the dosage of flovent. Lol.
