I'm a bit worried because I've been having breathing issues for the past 1.5 years. I saw a pulmonologist and got some meds and inhalers, which have helped a bit. But now I'm thinking about getting pregnant and I'm concerned if this breathing problem might cause any complications during pregnancy. Can you shed some light on this?
