Hello
Women with gestational dibetes are prone for preterm labour.Preterm infants have decreased lung maturity. Gestational diabetes further decrases lung maturity.Previous history of preterm birth increases the chance of preterm delivery now.
Witn the advanced intensive neonatal facilities available, preterm baby born at or after 34 weeks has a very good expectancy.Dexamethasone is a steroid that accelerates lung maturity and that is definitely required for your baby's well being.
