I am 28 weeks pregnant and see a dr at the naval hospital.
Steroids actually enhance the baby's lung maturity.
Theoretically steroids could suppress the baby's immune system, but that has rarely been seen. Albuterol, a realative of terbutaline used to stop early labor, could theoretically lead to a longer pregnancy, but this too has not been seen in real life. IT can make the baby's heart rate higher right after you use it. If your doc is the only doc at all, I strongly suggest you seek care elsewhere, even if it means paying out of pocket.
