Steroids will not harm baby. However, her pregnancy is a high risk one and she needs to register at a hospital with physicians and ICU backup. Meet the rheumatologist with all reports so that steroid dose can be reviewed. There are more chances of abortion, preterm delivery or death of unborn baby in SLE. However, if it's well controlled and patient is monitored regularly, risk of this will be substantially less
