The more common side effects that can occur with betamethasone include: Increased blood sugar level
Other steroid tablets (like prednisolone) do not cross the placenta as much and may be better for pregnancy
Use The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) guideline states that administration of betamethasone may be considered in pregnant women between 34 0/7 weeks and 36 6/7 weeks of gestation who are at risk of preterm birth within 7 days, and who have not received a course of antenatal corticosteroids
a Constant betamethasone infusions in pregnant ewes to target fetal plasma levels of 20 (maternal infusions of Beta P loading dose 0
Four recent studies, 3 cohort studies and 1 case-control study did not detect a significant correlation between topical corticosteroid use in the first trimester of pregnancy and orofacial clefts
Lactation: systemically administered corticosteroids enter breast milk and could suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroid production, or cause other effects; use with caution
Later in the trial, the doses were doubled because of an incomplete response
Corticosteroids are a medication that may be offered to you if you are at risk of giving birth early

This study aims to describe the pharmacokinetics of betamethasone in pregnant women and to evaluate the transplacental drug transfer and administration scheme for the prevention of RDS
Objective: To study the effect of betamethasone therapy on maternal white blood cell count, C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in women at high risk for preterm delivery
Betamethasone (Beta) and dexamethasone (Dex) are the fluorinated corticosteroid congeners that have been used since 1972 as antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) treatments for women at imminent risk of preterm delivery before 34 weeks gestational age to decrease neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and mortality by inducing fetal lung
Women with a singleton pregnancy at 34+0 – 36+5 with a high probability of preterm delivery in the late Since GCs play a vital role in maturation of fetal organ systems, pregnant individuals at risk of preterm labor (currently about 10% of pregnancies) are administered sGC (betamethasone or dexamethasone) that readily pass the placenta to promote fetal lung development and reduce the risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality
