It's likely a combination of two things-the guts squishing upwards as the uterus grows makes a lot of people short of breath-the only reason I was concerned is that it wasn't just short of breath, there was audible wheezing along with it.
The pulmonologist's NP suggested Pulmicort at the lower dose (though I can up the dose if I need to.) Pulmicort is apparently category B, and everything else seems to be category C or D. I'm willing to try just about anything at this point, so I filled the prescription for that, along with Singulair, Xopenex and Zyrtec. It seems to be working and I've incorporated it into the teeth brushing routine as you suggested, so we'll see how it works, and whether I end up with all the usual unpleasantness from the steroids. I do need to check on the whole breastfeeding issue though.
