Just wondering if there are other early pregnant women here that have to be on prednisone/ prednisolone?
I have a problem with natural killer cells and have been given this corticosteroid to suppress my immunity (so that my body does not reject the fetus). I find it's making me super hungry all the time and am gaining weight like no one's business!

Hi,
thanks jazzy and green.
green, i'm on 25 mg per day. i have to be on it for three months (two over now) till baby is well-entrenched. my face is puffier already but i am most worried about my appetite. I can eat and eat and eat, it's scary. I try to make healthy choices but add the pregnancy hormones and metallic taste constantly in my mouth and the sweets and starchy things are so tempting! I am on calcium supplements.
Thanks.

i dont know about prednisolone for pregnancy but my son was on it for his asthma attack. it was like he changed to a totally different personality. he was easily agitated, didn't sleep well at night and basically bad mood all the time. hope you didn't experience any of this.

Actually I've never taken it but my dog is on it (has hepatitis poor thing, helps with her liver function.) I can concur that it does indeed increase the users appetite.
