Dear Patient,

I'm not sure why your doctor is giving it in term pregnancy. They are just given when there's risk of preterm delivery. Perhaps your doctor feels there's a slight chance of earlier delivery and wants your child's lungs to mature accordingly.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Gynecologists in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
