LS and steroids during pregnancy
Diagnosed about 7 months ago postpartum with my first, though I’m certain I’ve actually had LS for a decade or two. Interestingly, my symptoms seemed to be in remission during pregnancy, though I wonder if LS may have contributed to my 3rd degree tear during birth. Currently on a maintenance dose of clob.
I’m now TTC again and my dermatologist has prescribed mometasone as an alternative to use during pregnancy. I’m curious to hear other’s experiences switching to a less potent steroid? Is there any protocol I should be aware of? Or can I switch directly to a maintenance dose of the new steroid? Alternatively, does anyone have experience remaining on clob through a pregnancy?
(I haven’t found my derm to be overly helpful so far, but will obviously reach out to them for more info if need be.)
Feel free to chime in with any other advice or experiences you have around LS and pregnancy/birth… I’ll take all the information I can get!
