Nina159- No only if you are at a risk for delivering the baby preterm before the lungs are fully developed.

I had the shots as well. Other than it hurts when they do it (its not even really that bad) it is sore for a little while after and might bruise. Mine bugged for maybe a day or two and then was forgotten.

They usually only do blood thinner shots (I think, I don't remember the name of it) in your stomach.
