Pregnant 27weeks and Steriod injections

[frog]

I had them at 32 weeks. Baby was born just fine at 36+6, no breathing problems whatsoever.

The only side effect I had was that she didn't move as much during the 24 hours or so after each injection. Led to a massive panic and us coming home early from a holiday only to be told that it was normal

I had steroid injections at 33wks and bubs was born at 39wks, no complications or side effects.

i had steriod injections with my twins at 29 weeks and they then waited the 5 days that are the optimal time for the injections to take effect to deliver them. DS1 very similar senario to purple pixie with HMD and CLC and was on CPAP. Same lots of hospital admissions when he was younger but now at age 10, he does have asthma and episodes where his O2 levels go dodgy when he gets respiratory illnesses. DD had only vented O2 and has no trouble with her lungs.
definately worth having them

Thank you all for sharing with me. Having the needles is a lot more common then I thought it was. Fingers crossed for me that this little bundle will stay inside until the timer is done
