A member asked:

Im 25 weeks pregnant and doc prescribed antenatal steroids at 28 weeks. i m confused. should i go for it or not?

Premature labor?: If your OB MD is concerned about you going into premature labor then, the steroids are being used to boost fetal lung maturity should that occur. Talk to your MD and find out if that is the case or not.
