I also find this very strange. I would definetly be asking a few more questions. I was given a steroid shot at 26 weeks also but that was due to a late miscarriage in Jul 05, they were doing it as a pre- caution. My Ob actually said that if I get past 34 weeks with this pregnancy they won't give me a steroid shot in my next pregnancy.

I hope you get the answers you are after.
