Does Taking Betnesol Injection During Pregnancy Harm The Fetus?

I have 32 weeks pregnancy and carrying twins. Doctor told me there is pre term birth risk. So, she has given betnesol injection having two dose of 3ml of this injection in just two days before. But I feel, there is some less fetal movement of babies after this injection. Can you tell me is it contains any risk or can be back to normal movement. And is there is any chance to less risk of pre term labour after having this betnesol injection. Hope to get answer early in detail. I am waiting

hi mam,betnasol is betamethasone,a steroid.Betamethasone is a medicine given to women expected to deliver after 24 but before 34 weeks of pregnancy. It is very advantageous in preventing or decreasing the many problems these small babies may face if born early. Betamethasone makes breathing easier for them, also decreases the chance of them bleeding in the head and makes their chances of survival better.however,betnesol cant reduce the risk of pre term labour in any way.moreover it is also not responsible for less fetal movements experienced by you.hope i have answered your question.my suggestion is if you really feel the movements are less,please consult your obstetrician and notify the problem.take care.i wish u a very safe and easy delivery with cute and healthy little ones.all the best.bye.
