Can Cortisone Effect The Pregnancy?

I had three cortisone shots in my right heel for a heel spur. I was trying to conceive and told the podiatrist. He told me the shots were safe and not to worry. Two of the shots were during my ovulation. On the 15th and 22nd of April. I found out on May 1st that I am pregnant. I m currently 6 weeks pregnant. Should I be worried about my baby? Even though the podiatrist cleared it I m still worried

Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Don"t worry, Cortisone injections are safe during pregnancy.
Cortisone has been assigned to pregnancy Risk Factor C if used during pregnancy which means there's no controlled data in human pregnancy.
Hope this answers your query.
