Anyone who's had the steroid jabs for babies lungs if suspected they may be prem...

[Weegle]

Did you have any reactions? I had first jab on Thurs, second yesterday and by bedtime last night, over night and in to this morning, I am completely flushed all up my arms, neck, chest and face... I feel 'ok' (well I don't but that's not due to the steroids) but I'm VERY VERY hot to touch where it is red... It's all been administered at home as I'm fighting not to be admitted, but wondering if I should call someone just to check this is ok?

I had these jabs but never had any reaction to them at all. I think that unless your throat is closing up and you can't breathe, you probably aren't in masses of danger. But if I was you, I would phone midwife or whoever gave it to you and tell them. It might be an allergic reaction to the jab or part of it at least. I had a reaction like this and was told not to take that stuff again in case you had a more serious reaction next time. So you really need to figure out what it is that caused it!
Hope you're ok

Thank you - no throat etc fine... argh, I know I should ring someone but I'm such a flipping complicated case, and I'm bed bound, and moving from our building site to rented accomodation today (so chaos) and I just don't need to cause DH any more hassle . Might give it another couple of hours, see if it starts subsiding...

I've had them. They made me feel sick, (and I was sick) but nothing else. Do ring someone medical. It's too risky not to check it out. Good luck.

I had these in hospital at 24 weeks after I'd had bleeding - the rather lovely midwife explained I might feel hot, clammy, slightly fuzzy headed as potential side effects, but they had no effect at all. Hope it subsides for you.

i had them, but no noticeable effect. i'd ring someone to check.

Haqd these in hospital - no side effects. I'm sure you're not in danger, but I think you should ring & check it out - sorry!
