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
