I have a skin condition and was using a steroid cream before. Now that im pregnant im scared to continue without checking. Planning to ask my doc but wanted ur experiences first, did anyone use steroids safely?
My mother-in-law was very scared when doc suggested steroids for me, but the doctor explained it was necessary for baby's lungs. Definitely listen to your doctor over home advice for this.
These injections can be a bit costly, but if your doctor says it's needed for the baby, please go ahead with it. It’s better to cut costs elsewhere than on vital medical needs.
Steroids are only safe if prescribed by your doctor, usually given for baby's lung maturity if there's a risk of early delivery. Don't take anything on your own, let your gynac decide.
I was given steroid injections in my 34th week because of preterm labor risk, and it helped my baby breathe fine after birth. It is safe only under your doctor’s close monitoring.
Oh, this sounds serious, so please don't take any such meds without asking your doc. Focus on eating healthy and let the doctor handle the prescription part.
Yaar, actually steroids are only given in specific medical situations like preterm risk. Never self-medicate, just ask your gynac clearly why they prescribed it.
I just delivered and was given steroids at 32 weeks to prevent baby breathing issues. It worked perfectly and baby is healthy. Trust your doctor's call on this.
Even I am trying to conceive and learning about this. From what I know, steroids are only given under extreme medical supervision, so please consult your doctor.
