Shot for lung development successful?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The shot helps move lung development forward by a week if given between 24 to 34 weeks. It does not mean lung development is complete.

Lungs: If you're talking about injection for lung development for an unborn baby, most of the time it is effective . But it has to be given before a certain amount of time before labor.
