A steroid injection at this stage of pregnancy is typically given when there is a possibility of an early delivery, to help the baby's lungs mature ahead of time. If your obstetrician has advised it, they are protecting the baby in case of any early birth.
Next Steps
Please discuss the exact reason with your obstetrician so you are clear about what they are watching for. Continue the schedule they have set.
Health Tips
Please do not skip a dose or space it differently on your own.

Hello, Some doctors may have it as a protocol but if there are no chances of preterm labour or the baby is IUGR then no apparent need for betnesol injection. Regardd
