Hello mam,
Omnacortil (prednisolone) is known to associated rarely with increased risk of cleft lip/palate in some studies.A risk of premature delivery is also possible.. Its better to avoid it during atleast the first 3-4 months of pregnancy when organogenesis occurs.. Now its better that you use some form of contraception till your tapering is over..
Take care
