Prenatal exposure to prednisone in humans and animals retards intrauterine growth.

Reinisch JM, Simon NG, Karow WG, Gandelman R.

Abstract

Prednisone treatment for infertility and subsequent pregnancy maintenance in humans resulted in a significant decrease in the birth weight of full-term infants and a marked increase in the percentage of newborn infants weighing 2500 grams or less, that is, "light for dates" in comparison to control offspring. A parallel experiment with mice indicated that the reduction of birth weight was caused by exposure to corticosteroids rather than to maternal disease or malfunction.
