Nah, not really. For me, anyway. Things are occasionally a bit tighter, but it was well-controlled to begin with, so it's not much of a worry.
It doesn't make you 'high-risk' or anything (er -- under normal circumstances; I expect if it wasn't under control, it -- well, you see), and the usual medications for it aren't contraindicated.
NB:
"In general, one third of pregnant women with asthma notice that their asthma symptoms improve during pregnancy; one third of women have asthma symptoms that stay the same, and one third of women have asthma symptoms that get worse."

-- somewhat more worrying, but, again, if it's well-controlled, don't worry too much.

Honey it's a problem having asthma ANYTIME. If your asthma is really serious you should talk to your doctor about dosing.
Being pregnant is a funny thing. A lot of people with chronic cases of one thing or another have said that their conditions improve during pregnancy.
It's almost like the body knows you're having a baby and goes on "hold" somewhat. But others have the opposite reaction too so hard to say what any individual will experience. Best to ask ahead of time and be prepared.

My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his asthma has shown no sign of improving. He has been to several doctors but they didn't help much.
If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

whats up. i'm pregnant and that i have been utilising my inhaler. My bronchial asthma is extremely intense, although, and if i don't have my inhaler, i don't have air and that harms the toddler as well. even as i develop into at 15 weeks, I were given extremely ill with a fever and each and every thing and that i had extremely undesirable respiration worry, so i develop into on steroids for weeks. My toddler is healthy so a strategies as docs can tell. I recommend speaking for your ob.

it can be, yes. but as long as your doctor is informed of your breathing regularly and you are on your medication you should be okay.
it does get a bit more difficult at the end when most ppl have a tightness in their chest anyways from the weight of the baby, and your own organs shifting around. DON'T over do it, or you could induce an asthma attack.
i made sure that i carried a fast acting inhaler (such as proventil or albuterol) w/me at ALL times. i had one in my purse, one in my car, one in my kitchen and one in my bathroom.
your doctor might make adjustments to you medication as your demands on your lungs increase as the baby gets bigger.
just be sure to really take the time to FEEL your lungs out in the morning and at night after medication...so you know how well the medication is helping.

Not at all. You do tend to be bothered more with shortness of breath. And I always got a severe cold during my pregnancies. But other than that, it all was normal.
