Betnasol inj for fetal development
Hello,
Currently 33 weeks running. My doctor prescribed betnasol inj for lung dev in fetus. Fetus shows normal development and meeting all milestones otherwise. I have had 2 missed miscarriages previously. Is the inj given because of my age and/or miscarriage history?
I read on Google that this is a steroid. Will it affect fetal development in any way and can it cause preterm labor?
Sorry if these seem like silly questions, but I am very worried.
Please help.
Thank you.
