is prednisone safe ???

So they put me on prednisone for the all over  itching and say it's a class c during pregnancy.  So if I'm 32 weeks is it safe to take it the remainder of my pregnancy.

I took prednisone when i was 22 weeks pregnant due to having severe asthma attacks. I'm now 32 weeks with a healthy baby! But i never heard of the itching, they have me on steroid cream for itching which is also a level c and im fine :)
