Steroid shot while pregnant?

Belinda80

Has anyone ever had a steroid shot while pregnant? I need one for a problem I'm having but I'm kind if nervous. Just wanted to see if you ladies have ever had one with this pregnancy or a previous one

I almost had to get one and my OB said they were safe during pregnancy. I didn't end up getting it though. Obviously talk with your doctor, but you and baby should be fine.

If you have a trusting relationship with your physician then I think it is safe to question but also follow their advice. They wouldn't recommend it unnecessarily, I don't think.

I'm waiting on my ob's response but my #1 concern is my baby. If I have to live with this pain until he's born I guess I'll have to wait for the shot

Yes it's safe. Actually helps mature the baby lungs. We give them in L&D for preterm labor

I had one for my knee in December, and (as far as I know) there are no issues. Good luck!
