High PI and small baby, back to normal?

Hi,

Just wondered if anyone has had similar experience and the outcome?

We have been booked in for serial growth scans for our second baby as our first pregnancy I had pre eclampsia and our baby was born on the 4th centile.

During our 28 week growth scan baby was 10th centile but it also highlighted high PI. We were referred to another hospital for further dopplers, one day readings were normal (we thought would be signed off) then the next one they all came back high, so we were referred to FMU.

had another scan with fmu at 30 weeks, where we were told that the PI remained high and baby had only grown 200g in two weeks dropping to 3rd percentile. We were told by the consultant to expect delivery within the next 2 weeks! And was given steroid injections. We were scheduled for twice weekly dopplers, ctgs In between and another growth scan 2 weeks later.

Since then we have had two occassions of normal dopplers! Dr's do not seem worried at all and now I just feel we were stressed with the prospect of imminent delivery for no reason. (Had bought in prem clothes etc)

We are waiting for the next growth scan in a weeks time when I will be over 32 weeks, my impression from the FMU consultant was that there was no going back and baby was going to be here very soon, but has anyone gone on to have normal dopplers and baby started to gain weight / grow again?

Hope this all makes sense! Thanks in advance for any replies.

I had some dodgy dopplers around that gestation, which normalised a couple of weeks later. I still had growth tail off at 38 weeks and was induced so I wouldnt say all was smooth but the PI definately resolved and was not a concern. The urgency may have lifted, which is obviously a good thing but personally I'd still be taking a hospital bag to appointments just incase. If growth has started to slow I think it's likely they will want to deliver early even if dopplers remain OK x
