Hello, I had cervical funneling at week 30 and was admitted to the hospital for pre-term labour. I had 2 steriod injections 24 hours apart and went on bed rest. At 30 weeks My DD at was estimated to be ~3.69 lbs, but the ultraslound at 34 weeks estimated 5 lbs, so there's clearly a slow down of weight gain (but not sure if its because I was eating less or due to the steriod)... currently I'm 36w4d and I'll likely carry her full term . I am just very concerned about the steroid shots because I don't know what are the long term effect of the steroids have on my baby. Will she develop to be a normal child or will there be some side effects that will affect her in the long run (e.g brain, body development?). This is my first child and I felt extreamely guilty of not taking better care of her because the cervis funneling wouldn't have happen if I hadn't work so much. *** advice. Experiences from other mom who went through similar situations will useful.
