Hello and welcome.
You are quite right. Steroids can result in various ill effects to the developing fetus, but so do many other medications when used during pregnancy. So it all comes down to the risk versus benefit factor. Discuss your wifes diagnosis in detail with her doctor and how using this medication is mandatory for her.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
