ehem... betamethasone

What are the side effects of steroids? water retention, potassium depletion, sodium accumulation and whatelse? After my discharge from hospital last week, I felt my tummy had increased in diameter. I gained 8 pounds in two weeks. I was keen to see if the babies tummy has increased in disprotortional rate. Thank god, they are normal that confirms that I dont have gestational diabetes this pregnancy. I did not see any remarks of polyhydronomus in my ultrasound report.
Anyway, I jumped into my conclusion betamethasone caused my tummy to suddenly grow big (water retention). This caused my uterine to stretch and contract. I blame my uterine contraction to betamethasone!
