:) I am ... I had one shot today and I go back for the other shot tomorrow. I just am looking for more information on them. Some sites say they only work if you deliver within 7 days but my OB didn't give me any indication that delivery was that iminent (though with pre-e, I realize that it can turn in a matter of hours). So, I'm just looking for more information on the corticosteroids until my next appointment with my OB on Thursday.
