Hi all im now a little worried as i have been using betamethasone ointment since the beginning of my pregnancy im now 18 weeks.I googled it tonight just on the off chance and it says it should not be used as it affects.placenta etc etc. I use it because i have eczema and in pregnancy it flares up pretty bad .Doctors prescribed it to me in the first few weeks off my pregnancy but iv continued to use it. Has anyone any information or should.i stop using it. Has anyone any experienceof using it in pregnancy and everything been ok.
