A member asked:
I am 29 weeks pregnant. i took a shot of steroids to boost my unborn babys lungs. now my breasts are painful and lumpy. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal side effect: In high risk pregnancies, the OB dr may choose to inject the mother with steroids to help in the maturation of the baby's lungs in case the baby is born early. Steroid injections can have some mild side effects including sleeplessness, flushing of the face and chest, breast tenderness and mild nausea. You can treat the painful breasts with warm compresses and acetaminophen.
