Prednisone is VERY safe for the baby and very well may help you have a healthier pregnancy by keeping the lupus under control. It is important that you take the antibiotics, as an untreated UTI while pregnant is not a good thing to do.
Are you taking any other medication for lupus or just prednisone? Were you taken off medications by your doctor?
I have found that infections do lead me to have more achiness, but I'm worried that you may have gone off other medications for lupus and this is why your hands are hurting you so bad. Many medications are safe to take while pregnant, it's important you discuss this matter with your doctor(s) soon!
