Under the National Standard Curriculum, an EMT-B is allowed to administer or help patients self-administer six medications. They can administer Oyxgen, Activated Charcoal, and Oral Glucose, and they can help a patient self-administer Epinephrine, Metered-dose inhaler medications, and Nitroglycerin. This can be different depending on an EMTs local protocols. Baby aspirin can also be given to a patient suffering from cardiac emergencies, upon medical control's approval. -http://www.tmrservices.org/PDF/LectureNotes/Chapter%2010%20Lecture.pdf

There is no way to do this.
You are not licensed to administer any narcotics to anyone.
Nope, no sperm no baby.
No. No sperm= No baby.
Yes. They give you an injection to counteract the rh factor incompatibility.
No, if the mother is in premature labor, she is given the medication and it goes to the baby to help develop his or her lungs.
Your choices would be to have an amnio to check for lung maturity or just have the injection. Since the amnio presents risks of it's own I would suggest having the steroid injection as a safeguard to your baby's health if this is what your doctor recommends.
Betnesol, or betamethasone, is a steroid injection administered during pregnancy when preterm birth is a possibility. The steroid injection helps to produce surfactant in the baby's lungs, allowing them to inflate without sticking together. Normally, babies do not make this surfactant on their own until around 32-35 weeks. If your doctors are recommending this injection for you, they should have detected something that tells them your baby is at risk for premature birth. You should ask for documentation of why this shot is being recommended for you and what your alternatives are. You haven't indicated any risk factors that would necessitate such an injection.
