10 weeks pregnant with bronchitis: has anyone had the Decadron shot?
I'm 10 weeks pregnant. I have a severe case of bronchitis. Originally I was given a zpack and zofran. I ended up having an allergic reaction to the zpack. Then I was put on an Albuterol inhaler. The inhaler has not helped. I went to my family doctor today and I was given a shot of Decadron and two other prescriptions. I was wondering if any of you ladies have ever had the Decadron shot during pregnancy and everything be okay? This is my first pregnancy and one we have been trying for the past 3 years. I'm really uneasy about all the medication.
Thank you!

if you haven't yet don't take Zofran. studies shown it leads to birth defects

The way its been explained to me, medicine is a last resort in pregnancy. Only take it if you absolutely have to. I'd be scared to take so much so early on. But kicking an infection quickly is safer for you little bean than being sick for a long time. Best wishes mama!

I'm on meds right now for other health problems I'm having and even pain meds. if your OB says it's ok then the benefit outweighs the risk ! my doctor also told me a lot of medicine becomes safer in the 2nd trimester even category Cs and your almost out of the 1st so I'd assume it's ok as long as your OB is aware of everything your taking.

Thanks guys! Loos like I'm allergic to this medicine too. 😐 It's amazing how pregnancy changes your body. I had no allergies before pregnancy but now everything I take I am allergic too.
