Pregnancy and steroids??
Hi all
unfortunatley i have been suffering from breathin difficulties i.e. tight chest, wheezing etc i do normally have some degree of asthma anyway.
I went to the doctors today and he has prescribed me a 4 day course of steroids to take.
My queston is has anyone else taken steroids whilst pregnant?
Are they safe?

yes I ditton what SWillo says I have Ucolitis and have been on steroids for a couple of months now, you are safe to take up to 40mg a day. which is 8 x 5mg tablets if you are on prednisolone??? The way i look at it, it's also helping LO get stronger as they give baby steroids if you are going into early labour.
Hope you feel better soon.
