What are the lowest number of weeks gestation that steroid can be injections be administered to improve lung function. it looks like i might not carry full term due time servical funneling.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroids for fetus: Beta-methasone is generally given no earlier than 32-34 weeks of pregnancy, but should the cervical funneling progress to contractions and early delivery, the newborn nursery will administer steroids to the infant to decrease problems with lung immaturity.
