Steroid for fetal lung maturity

2024-01-03 11:26:50
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
