Cortisone shot while pregnant?

Does anyone know anything about the saftey of cortisone shots while pregnant?

I am having severe hip/ SI Joint pain and a coworker is adament that it would be beneficial but after googling it I can't find anything from a reliable source.  I am thinking about asking my OB about it but want to make sure it is not a major No No first...

  • Ask your OB. That's what she/he is there for.

    I'm not sure what kind of hip issues you have, but have you tried a chiropractor? They can do amazing things for hip/back issues when you're pregnant.

    I have tried chiro, physical therapy and massage but really want to continue to stay active but I am having a hard time walking and sitting so trying to find something to help get me through since I am told it only get worse.

  • My friend had to get one as soon as she got out of the 1st tri due to a broken tailbone that healed incorrectly. I don't know what the risks are but the benefits out weighed them for her. I'm sure your OB will know and or refer to you a specialist.
