I had to get steroid shots two of them my doctor told me it was to make sure my sons lungs where strong enough if he was to come early, I came back positive for preterm labor that’s why he had me do it

@cutie22, that was it, they only made me go for it twice..

@cutie22, but I had to go weekly to my obgyn for awhile after that

Ok thanks

The steroids should be given in 2 sessions to help mature the baby’s lungs. Nothing to do with weight. Weekly appts will most likely be to monitor baby’s progress.
