Catogory c: Methylprednisolone is a category c drug. There are adverse fetal effects in animals, but there are no controlled human studies or no animal or human studies. So basically the risk is unknown in humans.

Not much: There is a loose and controversial association with cleft lip/palate but only with high doses, not a little dose pack for skin rash. I think she'll be fine.

Category C med: This medication has been studied in pregnancy & found to be relatively safe when used as directed. Pulsed use (med pack) provides little more than an increase of stress steroids produced naturally by human adrenal glands on a daily basis.
