Steroid jabs

Hi all! I'll be having my c sect at 38 weeks 2days. My doc advised to take steroid jab 1 week prior to prevent baby having wet lungs. As its steroid, me and my husband are a little sceptical. Anybody took this, kindly advise if it's necessary and if there's any long term side effect? TIA :)
