No pregnant woman would ever want to take a medication that might hurt her unborn child. However, sometimes medications are needed during pregnancy, especially for asthma and allergies. The most common mistake a pregnant asthmatic can make is to stop all of her asthma medications, thinking that this is the safe thing to do for the baby. In most cases, the risks of untreated asthma in a pregnant woman are far worse (to the mother and to the unborn child) than the small risks of taking most asthma medicines.
