I'm 33+6 and had my first steroid jab this morning. I was on a monitor before hand and everything was ok, I had the jab, then had a scan. After that I've been on my feet pretty much until now, only occasionally sitting down for a couple of minutes (apart from drive home which is always uncomfortable). Anyway I've sat downand hahave constant pain across the bottom of my back which is where I've laboured before. But I've not had the constant pain. I'm getting loads of tightenings, which I've had for wks, however this makes the pain little worse. Has anybody had similar after a jab before I get into panic mode with my kids and dh at work.

Sorry I haven't got anything majorly useful to add - I had my injections last week and didnt feel very well for a few days, but didnt have any noticeable tightening etc. it could be a combination of the injection and being on your feet all day. Hope it eases off soon.

There bloody agony I had bruises for weeks after. I went into labour straight away so can't give advice. I'd ring the hospital if your worried even if it's just been over cautious.

They're horrible aren't they? I was ok with the first three jabs but felt really ill and shaky after the last one. They're very strong drugs so they'll definitely affect how you feel. I started feeling better about 14 hrs after my final injection.
