Lung Maturing Shots

NimraAbbasi
People.. My gynaecologist has prescribed me 2 shots of dexamethasone 12 hours apart. My baby is due on or around 22nd February. I have entered my 36th week. So, just wanted to know if anybody else has got these shots?

Yes I had the shots at 32 weeks when I threatened to go into labour

I'm pretty sure that's what they tried to give me with my daughter when I went into labor at 25 weeks.  I gave birth before the 2nd injection...

Are you contracting?  Do they expect you to not make it to 37 weeks? Are you measuring small?
