I had a cerclage placed at week 18 due to short cervix. It didn’t really work and I was found to have prolapsed hourglass membrane at week 26. Was admitted immediately and given steroids and magnesium. Somehow managed to hold off labor for a week now.
I read that the steroids and magnesium is only effective for 7 days and 24 hours respectively. And after that the protection is lost. Was anyone in similar situation where labor didn’t happen after steroid and magnesium and were you given repeated doses?
I checked with the the doctor and it seems the hospital have no protocol to administer repeated dosages. Though I am glad that I have hold off for another week, I am worried that I am missing significant protection for my baby from steroid and magnesium.
