Steroid injections

Is there anyone with any experience of these who may be able to confirm that my first injection today is the cause of my insomnia tonight/this morning?
Despite being 36 +2 and constantly exhausted I just cannot sleep!! Has anyone else ever had this reaction to the drugs?

I am sorry i have not advice.

Bumping this until someone else wakes up!

Yes I'd say it is definitely the cause. I'm on steroids (pills) for the first 12w of my pregnancy and I'm awake every night for two hours or more 2-4am. It's shite

I had this after first injection. Was ok the following night after the second but did feel generally rubbish for about 4 days.

Hi, yes, I had awful insomnia for about 4 or 5 nights when I had them. The consultant confirmed the injections were the cause.

I also felt pretty rubbish and had some other side effects too (flushed / hot face and chest, engorged breasts) which lasted about 24 hours each.

Thanks so much for your replies. I thought as much.
Have just managed a hour sleep but now awake again. Oh well school run soon enough anyway.
C section booked for Weds morning so could do with not being super tired before baby even arrives.
