Prednisone and Pregnancy

I recently caught a bad case of bronchitis which flared up my asthma. I had to go on prednisone steroid for 5 days in order to breathe. My doctor told me that if you take a steroid during your pregnancy then you have to get a steroid delivered through your IV during labor to prevent adrenal failure. Anyone else have experience with this or ever hear of it? Anyone ever taken prednisone for a short period of time during pregnancy?
