Hi.Since you are at 32 weeks pregnancy with polyhydramnios
( liquor more than normal), so fearing preterm labour or preterm rupture of membranes , your gynecologist has advised you to take Inj. Betnesol, which is given for lung maturity of baby and hence respiratory distress syndrome at birth and also to prevent intraventricular haemorrhage. It Is given as precautionary measure in case delivery occurs before term,i.e. 37 weeks or even before 34 weeks. Thanks.
