babigirl82 - 93 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I had four sets of shots with my son a set at 28 weeks and the next set at 32weeks. he was still pre-term at 34weeks but the shots helped with his lung development. Now they are not always helpful cause my son still had to go into the breathing bag for 8hrs, but he was fine. These shots are meant to help the baby not harm him/her so feel confident in whatever the doctor is doing for you. It is also good that your contractions have stopped but the steriods do not stop your contractions just help with the babies lungs. But good luck and anymore questions please ask.
