Join us as we explore the topic of steroid injections in pregnancy and their impact on a baby's lung maturity. We discuss the purpose of these injections, which is to accelerate surfactant production in the lungs to support proper function. We examine the benefits, including reducing respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature babies, and the potential risks such as maternal hyperglycemia and infection susceptibility. We emphasize the importance of consulting healthcare professionals, considering individual circumstances, and discussing alternative approaches. Make an informed decision for your baby's lung maturity. Subscribe for more pregnancy insights.
