I'm 34 weeks pregnant with low risk, fairly normal pregnancy so far. Last night I had been injected with inj. betnesol 12 mg I read it on several sites that unnecessary steroid injection can cause serious problems in the baby in long term. How normal is it to be given betnesol for a low risk pregnancy? And is it harmful?
