It depends on your involvement with your partnor so just relax and increase involvement in the act rather thinking to increase time frame. I hope this will help you.

Hi lybrate-user. The injection will be good for your babies lungs, betamethasone is better, but depending on your gynaecologist, even dexamethasone is also effective.
