NorthDay - 92 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) The steroids are usually used to strengthen the baby's lungs before they are born early. If your contractions have stopped then your baby will be able to continue to grow and develop healthy. I had them and my son was born at 27 weeks, he was on oxygen for almost 2 months. I would hate to think what would have happened if I didn't get the steroids. Today he is a very healthy 14 year old, with no lung issues.
