Give birth after 37weeks still need to have steroid jab?

Doctor suggested steroid jab for baby lungs when I’m at 39weeks... I thought it’s more for premature babies? He said it’s optionable but would like to hear others opinions if it’s necessary? Any side effect etc

I had 2 jabs when I was pregnant with my daughter. Dilated too early at 34 weeks so I was given the 2 jabs on both my thighs, 12 hrs apart to strengthen her lungs. She was born healthy & naturally @ 36 weeks. No side effects
