Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Gupison contains active form of Prednisone. According to FDA it belongs to category C drugs in pregnancy. Which means animal studies have shown few side effects like cleft palate in foetus but sufficient human studies are lacking to come to an conclusion.
It should be used only when benefits overweight the risks.
If allergy subsides you can stop Gupison with your doctor's advice.
Low molecular weight heparin is better alternative for anti-phospholipid syndrome in pregnancy.
So, please discuss these things with your doctor and proceed accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
