Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel
It's good that you are taking steps to recognize things early. Dexamethasone is used to help a baby's lungs develop in case they are born prematurely. Premature means the baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. You don't need to worry about the baby having problems with this medicine if they are not born until after 37 weeks.
