Abstract
Respiratory distress, intraventricular haemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, hypothermia are few of the neonatal threats associated with preterm delivery. Antenatal steroids are given to pregnancy women who are at risk of delivery before 37weeks to prevent these complications in their babies. Dexamethasone and Betamethasone are the corticosteroids that have proven effective for fetal maturation. The average birth weight of extremely preterm, very preterm, moderate preterm and late preterm babies was 648.75 g, 1573 g, 1828.7 g and 2462.58 g respectively. This is a retrospective study where we have reported the administration of antenatal steroids in mother with impending preterm delivery and have discussed various factors associated with it including average NICU stay of the preterm babies, gender and average weight of the babies, outcome and gravidity of the mother.
