I think you are expressing yourself very well :hugs:. NEVER NEVER underestimate intuition and "gut" instinct. I too am glad you are on the prednisone because there is that autoimmune thing going on. Even at 10mgs that will be enough often.

The weight issue. I have put on 12kgs since commencing the prednisone. It's a shocker but I figure (excuse the pun!) at the end of the pregnancy I will find a weightloss programme and work my butt off!

I hope you can convince them too - for what it's worth I think you should stay on it. Plead your case, talk about instincts and if that fails and you really believe you should be on it find someone who will go along with you...

I am thinking of you Butterfly and watching your beautiful journey closely...
