I've taken it through both pregnancies as most of the other tablets I have to take you can't have while pregnant or breastfeeding...can't wait to go off it that's for sure!]]> Wed, 14 May 2008 12:58:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17176&PID=383203&title=taking-steroids#383203 <![CDATA[taking steroids : well, if its the last day.....otherwise...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17176&PID=383014&title=taking-steroids#383014 Author: caitlynsmygirl

well, if its the last day.....otherwise i would have said definetly talk to your doc, i think cramps and sharp pains are always important to mention ....

Hope the cramping dies down and you can get a bit more comfortable BS ]]> Wed, 14 May 2008 09:32:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17176&PID=383014&title=taking-steroids#383014 <![CDATA[taking steroids : yeah it is prednisone....OMG i...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17176&PID=383011&title=taking-steroids#383011 Author: Bombshell

I'm on prendisone for my arthritis while I'm still breastfeeding so have to take a tablet first thing in the morning to help line my stomach and take calcium as well. Luckily I don't have any side effects.]]> Tue, 13 May 2008 21:53:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17176&PID=382823&title=taking-steroids#382823 <![CDATA[taking steroids : Natasha had to take Zantac (sp)...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17176&PID=382706&title=taking-steroids#382706 Author: shaz

Natasha had to take Zantac (sp) I think it's an antacid like Mylanta to help line her stomach but she still got stomach aches everyday for the eight years she was on steroids .
She was also taking folic acid and calcium but I think those were just because she had to take the steriods for such a long time.
"Touch wood" she wont have to take them again. ]]> Tue, 13 May 2008 21:04:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17176&PID=382706&title=taking-steroids#382706 <![CDATA[taking steroids : Is it predisone?

Is it predisone? I get given that for my asthma when its really bad, and it plays havoc with my stomach. I get really bad cramping and dioreahha (sorry TMI) sometimes....even when I have followed the instructions and taken it with food! Its pretty harsh.

I guess it depends on what you are on. Maybe give your pharmacist a call or your GP I guess!

Hope you feel better soon!

Not sure, but I'd check with your doc. My dad got a nasty stomach ulcer from taking a particular antibiotic once and it made him even sicker than the original bug.]]> Tue, 13 May 2008 17:09:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17176&PID=382392&title=taking-steroids#382392 <![CDATA[taking steroids : I guess it depends what steroids...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17176&PID=382388&title=taking-steroids#382388 Author: JPP

I guess it depends what steroids you're on. I take steroids for my asthma and they don't effect me during pregnancies and are a boost to babys lungs as an added bonus. I would say talk to your doc about it, sorry not too helpful there ]]> Tue, 13 May 2008 17:07:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17176&PID=382388&title=taking-steroids#382388 <![CDATA[taking steroids : BS - that doesn&#039;t sound nice...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17176&PID=382198&title=taking-steroids#382198 Author: ginger

BS - that doesn't sound nice at all!

I have no idea I'm sorry as to what the problem may be, but do you think it's worth checking with your Dr or his nurse? You can feel a bit doing it if it's nothing, but better to be safe and all that.

I do know steroids can do odd things to your body, so it may be your body's way of complaining about them?

Not helpful, I know!
