Is Excessive Sweating During Pregnancy After Steroid Injections Normal?

Hi, My daughter is 35 weeks pregnant and I just noticed her belly was extremely red and blotchy. It also. She has been on calexane through the entire pregnancy and just started steroid injections to mature the bubs lungs as she has to have bubs early (two days time). She said she has been sweating the last couple of nights after the injections. She is not worried but I am . Very interested in your thoughts. Thanks, Worried

Hello, this redness is due to the effect of steroid in the injection given for lung maturity.
So nothing to worry just keep applying cold water dipped towel over the affected areas.
