    I actually know someone who this happened to last week. Apparently its pretty common. I believe she was given steroid injections and was told it may or may not clear up (as per all BP cases).

    I agree with PP to discuss this with your doctor and don't be discouraged, just know it can take several months to go away.

    Sorry if you are going through this.

    I had Bell's Palsy, but not during pregnancy.  I would personally look up what category the individual medications are.  I'd definitely talk to my OB before taking any new meds during pregnancy.  

    It might be better to ask this on another board.

    My best friend ended up with Bell's Palsy while she was pregnant and had to have the steroid shots and anti-virals.  It did last the entire pregnancy but went away shortly after having the baby.

    A girlfriend of mine had it a week after delivering so I have no insight on taking the mess while pregnant but just wanted to say sorry you have to deal with this, hopefully it's brief and you can go on to enjoy just being pregnant. Hugs
