Hi everyone....I'm new to this forum but am a regular in the open discussion forum. My wife is newly pregnant and our due date is around Jan 5.
She has pretty bad asthma and carries an inhaler with her. As I recall...it's been 13 years....during her pregnancy with our first child Matthew she was on a pill for asthma called Theodur(theophylline) and after he was born could not breast feed. She also had a few trips to the E.R. for the asthma and it was sometimes hard for her to breath because of the pressure of the baby. Anyway....I'm wondering if anyone out there has had severe asthma during pregnancy and if there are any tips to make it more comfortable for my wife the second time around? Also...regarding the theodur and breastfeeding....have you heard of that before Sheila?
Thanks for any input and tips that you all may have.
