It's absolutely safe and essential for the baby for its lungs function and other good factors like avoiding neonatal necrotising enterocolitis. It will help the baby if it delivers preterm also because of increased amniotic fluid as well so kindly take them and follow your doctors instruction Watch for movements of the baby and if less or totally not seen inform your doctor

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?
