I do not usually get asthma at all, never have, but did get 'sickness induced asthma' from about 33 weeks on.
They gave me a script for an inhaler (a preventative) and I think I used it 3-4 times. It was never very severe though.
It did not affect my birth plan at all, nor did it affect my labour.
The midwives or doctors when I was in labour never even mentioned it or asked me how I was breathing lol As I said though, I am not usually asthmatic, and it was not severe.

I'd never suffered Asthma in my life but I developed it during my first pregnancy. It was so bad at one point that I was on a pump 5 times a day, i couldn't go anywhere. When I had him it died down but shortly after I had my 2nd baby I was hospitalised several times due to it.
It didn't affect my births at all but to this day I am on asthma medication.
