High blood flow Doppler result? Lung steroid decision

Hi has anyone had a high blood flow from placenta result causing slower growth? I’m 32+4 weeks and have had 2 of these results and the registrar dropped into conversation that they will make the decision on Monday about giving me the lung steroid injection and consider early induction? I’m freaking out, I didn’t really understand what he said until I’d left and have booked a private scan for growth and Doppler for sat to try and prepare myself, has anyone else went through this? Baby is measuring 3.7lbs on 2/7/18

I didn't have reduced growth but has raised Doppler at 31w which had resolved by 32w & baby had turned to be head down. However when I went in with reduced movement at 38+4 baby was breech and Doppler raised again so I was admitted & given steroids ahead of a planned c section at 39w. DS was born via that planned section at 39w at 6lb 5oz & perfectly healthy but his cord was v short.

The steroids work v well but I would be discussing possible admittance & monitoring before induction to see if baby does need to come out yet. 32/33 weeks is perfectly fine with some medical help so don't worry too much.

Hi there, im only 26 weeks but when i had my 22 week scan, they said my uterine arteries were both increased which means i tested positive for potential IUGR (growth restriction) i have got to have another scan at 28 weeks and 32 weeks to check babies growth. I spoke to my consultant in depth about it and he said not too worry they would only deliver early if there was a sign of the baby's growth slowing down, this is because it means the baby isn't necessarily getting all that it needs from the placenta. Try not to worry they will try to keep the baby in for as long as possible but sometimes its just safer to deliver. Good luck.

Thanks so much for the reply, I think that’s what Mondays app is for cazinge, they decide whether to admit me for steroid injection and plan after that, I’ve really bad baby brain and am not retaining and info so it’s really frustrating that I went to last app on my own as I can’t bloody remember what they said, I’ve read online and nearly all persons with same thing where told to have complete rest between apps but I don’t recall him telling me that at all?! And don’t want to be doing anything I shouldn’t, wonder if I rang midwife would they know?
Thanks for reply and sorry for rambling
