11 weeks pregnant with a rash on my legs - pregnancy or prednisolone?
I've been on 20mg of prednisolone for about 2 months now as part of an IVF protocol (and yes its perfectly safe to use in pregnancy otherwise the connsultant wouldn't prescribe it!).

I started to wean off cutting the dose in half then half again (although I did start the lower doses a couple of days earlier than I was told coz I hate the stuff and just want to be off it).

I am 11 weeks pregnant and have an itchy rash on my legs mainly on the tops of my legs in the front (nothing on the back).

Not sure if this has anything to do with coming off the pred or could it be pregnancy related?

I have a midwife appt tomorrow so I will ask her and if she cant help will go to the Dr.

Just wanted to know if any of you experienced this kind of rash either when coming off pred or when pregnant?

Thanks
