i take steroid prednisolone for ivf/pregnancy due to auto immune issue but i have herpes 2 will this affect baby?
taking an oral corticosteroid like prednisone or prednisolone long-term during pregnancy has been associated with an increased chance for delivering a baby that is premature (born before 37 weeks of pregnancy) and/or has a lower birth weight than expected. that possibility that your baby will get infected by herpes is low if you are infected in the early pregnancy.
