Steroid for fetal lung maturity
I am 27 weeks pregnant with twins and my doc has asked me to do fasting and PP sugars from lab for steroid injections as there is a chance of pre-term delivery in twins.
I have GDM and monitor sugars anyways daily and it is fully controlled by avoiding sugar.
My question is if my fasting (<90) and PP (<140) are normal in test then I can take steroids injection without any side effects right?
Thanks
