A member asked:
Can a woman take steroids while being pregnant? how will it affect them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Not sure what "steroid" you are talking about. Typically, Prednisone is not an issue in pregnancy-- although some studies suggest a correlation with cleft palate in rodents. If you are referring to sex steroids, there can be fetal effects depending on the sex of the fetus.
