I had the steroid shots and I strongly believe it made a difference in the development of my girls lungs. Its not going to hurt if you do get them and dont end up delivering prematurely. Good Luck!!

 

Nicolina,

The steroid injections are very helpful for your babies' lung development if you're at risk for pre-term labor. Is your doctor recommending them? I know many women remain pregnant for weeks with a cervix measuring 1 cm; do you have other risk factors for pre-term labor?

 

Yup.. if your cervix is that thin.. I would take the steriods in a heartbeat.. the more developed those babies lungs are the better they will do once they are here.

I will also 2nd the fact that it won't hurt anything to have them even if you go full term.. with my last baby I had preterm labor start at 26 weeks.. I got steroid shots at this point and ended up having to force her out at 39 weeks.. she was perfectly fine.

 

I had them and I truly believe they helped my babies tremendously!

 

The steroid shots can make a HUGE difference....If you're at risk for preterm labor, get the shots. Their effectiveness last for approx. 4 weeks. I had them at 24 weeks and will probably have another round at the 28-30 week mark, depending on how these babies are doing...
