When pregnant women are at risk of delivering too early, doctors often give a steroid medication called betamethasone to help the baby's lungs mature and breathe better after birth. This study is checking how betamethasone affects blood sugar levels in pregnant women who do not have diabetes. Researchers want to understand if this medication causes blood sugar to rise in ways that might need treatment.
While doctors know that this medication can significantly raise blood sugar in women who already have diabetes, very little is known about how it affects blood sugar in women without diabetes. Understanding this better could help doctors protect both mother and baby during this important treatment.

You would wear a small continuous glucose monitor (like a patch on your skin) to track your blood sugar throughout the study. Over 6 days, you'll have blood samples drawn and urine tests performed twice daily to measure glucose, insulin, and other markers. After your baby is born, a blood sample will be taken from the umbilical cord to check your baby's glucose and other health markers.
