YOur age need to be told. You can breastfeed while taking solu medrol for a short period Amounts of methylprednisolone in breastmilk are very low. No adverse effect have been reported in breastfed infants with maternal use of any corticosteroid during breastfeeding.

Women who use corticosteroids (for example, methylprednisolone or prednisone) for acute MS relapsess may continue to use them during pregnancy. The use of prednisone in a woman who is breastfeeding should be carefully monitored.

We should look at benefit versus risk. Medrol is a steroid .try to deliver the baby earlier may be by 37 weeks if all well or if there is growth restriction.

Usually the course of multiple sclerosis is not worsened in pregnancy and she can continue solumedrol (prednisone) if she was taking it before pregnancy. It does not affect the baby.
