I just did some research too.
Steriods are only used in preterm labour situations after 24 and no further than 34. It has been shown to be the most effective either taken over 2 days at 12 hr intervals. Then delievering 5-7 days post the last injection obviously in situations that are emergency they dont get the flexabilty of this.
I worry about prolonged use of steriods..not talking weeks but months, but then again I would of tried anything to get me over the line.
Have they checked your cervical length's what are you looking at?
BTW that drug is a heart drug..dunno why my obst was using it, he must know lol he is a multiple birth - high risk -suture king
