Prednisone while pregnant?

Question

Help! I have been battling bronchitis for about six weeks now, and I it has caused my asthma to flare up. I saw my GP today and recommended Prednisone. He said it was OK to take during pregnancy, but I still worry. Waiting for my OB to call back for verification, but does anybody have any experience with Prednisone during pregnancy? I am currently 17 weeks 1 day. Thanks!

Answer

Did you end up taking it? My OBGYN wanted to wait before prescribing it but the dermatologist I came to today wants me to. She is checking with my OBGYN but I’m still nervous as they had told me they prefer I wait to see it creams helped. I’m not sure what to do because I want my rash and misery to go away but at the same time I will put up with it if prednisone is gonna hurt the baby in any way 😩

Answer

I got prescribed it while pregnant- it gave me insomnia 😫

Answer

As far as I know prednisone is okay while pregnant but always ask your pharmacist when you go to pick up a prescription. The pharmacist will be able to tell you whether or not it's safe.

Answer

I’ve been on 10mg daily since I was 4 weeks for rheumatoid arthritis and I’m currently almost 19 weeks. Low doses are perfectly fine in pregnancy.

Answer

I do not know.  But also your pharmacist should be a good source of knowledge.
