Why do you want to opt out? It’s to help baby’s lungs from what I was told. I had low lying placenta and had c section at 36+5 but I DID have the injections

I have a dear friend who endured this during her first pregnancy. Please do what the doctors tell you.

Because by 37 weeks the lungs is already fully developed and because their are some studies suggesting behavioral problems from those injections.
