My gynac mentioned this in my last visit and im a little confused honestly. Im 7 months and just want to know if other moms were given this. Pls share if anyone had it during pregnancy.
Honestly, dexamethasone is a very strong steroid. Please do not take it without asking your gynac first. Only they can decide if u really need it or not, so safety first.
Beta, heavy medicines are not good to take directly during these times. For normal small pains or issues, we can try home remedies like ginger or warm milk, but for something like dexamethasone, you must only listen to the doctor. Don't take it on your own.
I had thyroid during my pregnancy and had to do regular follow-ups, so I know how important monitoring is. Since dexamethasone is a steroid, please check with your doctor. They will do proper tests and follow-ups to see if it is safe for you.
Actually, I had gestational diabetes, and steroids like dexamethasone can spike your sugar levels. So if you are taking it, you have to be very careful with your diet and keep checking your blood sugar. Do consult your gynac about this.
I remember being so scared when my doc mentioned this injection, but my baby is a toddler now and absolutely healthy! It is mostly given to help baby's lungs mature if they think delivery might happen early. Trust your gynac, everything will be fine.
My mother-in-law always says to avoid any English medicines unless urgent, but in pregnancy, we have to trust our doctor. Dexamethasone is usually given for baby's lung growth if there is an early delivery risk. Please consult your doc, they will guide you best.
Ghar pe sab kehte hain bina doctor ke koi goli nahi khani chahiye. Ye dexamethasone thodi badi dawai hai, toh aap apne doctor didi se pooch ke hi lena. Apna dhyan rakho, sab acha hoga.
