Hi. I understand your concern s. You will need to undergo a pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis as well as to assess severity of asthma based on which treatment can be started. Keep a regular follow up with your pulmonologist throught out the pregnancy.

Yes it is safe in pregnancy. But please visit a pulmonologist too along with a gynaecologist.
