Question ladies! So when I was in hospital they gave me the steroid shot to help develop her lungs. At my midwife appointment she told me that the shot technically makes the baby “farther along” than I am. Do you ladies think that means she will be “ready” to come out earlier? I know with the extra fluid she could come early too but just curious about that shot!

I had the steroid shot with both of my babies. It just decreases the chances of your baby needing help breathing or needing oxygen if they need to come before they are full term. It doesn’t necessarily make them ready sooner, every bit of time they can get in the womb is very important.
