Hi, thanks for writing..
yes, it would be better to take 2 doses of betnesol injection.. This helps in fetal lung maturiy.. Since she has a history for preterm labour, the chance of it repeat in this pregnancy is high.. If betnesol is taken, fetal lung will be mature to survive better.. only problem associated with it is it can cause rise in sugar level in diabetic.. Hope I have answered your query.. good day
