Betnesol during pregnancy
Diagnosed with low amniotic fluid of 7.6 at 28 weeks my dr. Gave me 12mg betnesol ing twice in 24 hrs. She asked me to repeat the same after 30 weeks but when I consulted another dr. For it she gave me only 8 mg betnesol once since i had already taken it before. Should i have taken 12mg twice in 24 hrs. Or was 8mg fine for second time???
