He he he yeah we thought our baby would come out like arnie saying "I vant my milk" and picking up his cot!!. This steriod does not pass to the placenta and all studies to date show no issues with its use through pregnancy other than a very small extra chance of cleft palate) (one in one thousand). Our advise to date has been to not stop immediately but I am open to new thinking on this and any proven practice you are aware of. Our UK GP did suggest that now Ligaya has been well for a sustained period that there may be alternatives to the steriod which will maintain her and that the consultant (when we get one) may well choose alternative strategies.
