Their injections that you would be given if you were to go in to pre-term labour.. They help to mature babies lungs xx

i had mine in the tops of my legs 12 hour gap inbetween the 2 omg ive gotta agree they didnt half sting i had tears in my eyes, i felt sick aswell after the 2nd dose an kept gettin hot flushes which were awful, they help the babys lungs develop incase u do end up having the baby early i had mine at 33weeks cos im in slow very slow labour just hopes my lil man can hang on another 2weeks but even if he cums early i no hes had the injections so his lungs shud be beta, try not to worry if u dnt need them they wnt give u them good luck hun xxx
