I'm a female 30 yrs. My problem is i'm 18wks pregnant and asthmatic. Now this has worsened because during the night I can't sleep due to wheezing and difficult in breathing. I was advised to use inhaler together with prednisolone 15 mg per day. Will this harm my baby, again will it help me.

if you are unwell you have to take the required medicines. It should not harm your baby but do not take it for a very long time. I hope you are trying simple home remedies also side by side.
