Hello
I'm 30w3d had my first steroid injection yesterday and 2nd later today in hospital.
They are giving as a precaution because I've had bleeding, and he chance baby may need to be born early.
This morning over 12 hours after first injection, I've got a horrible headache and aching all over. I do have lots of health problems that do cause pain. I'm going to mention to staff. I wondered if was a side effect of the steroid injection or whether it was a flare in pain from health conditions (could even be both!)

How did you feel after them?

I can remember feeling a bit rubbish. The pregnancy carried on till 36w3 and DS was fine if that helps any worries you might have
