Hello, I did not know I was 4 weeks pregnant and had a decadron shot for a Sinus Infection. Should I be worried about this?

You can read about it here... Taking Dexamethasone during pregnancy or breast feeding (http://foxyurl.com/3cS) , there can be complications when using corticosteroids during pregnancy.
The first thing you do tomorrow is to call your Doctor! and explain what you have found out (pregnancy).
You may also want to call your OB/GYN for information.

That's strange, when I read your reply I had the distinct impression you will be having a girl. ;)
Time to get the thread and needle out.
