Raised dopplers, growth drop - early delivery

2 replies

AmberM223 · 06/05/2025 19:32

Hey everyone, i’m currently 33+2 and we found 2 weeks ago i have raised dopplers (on the 90th/95th centile) and baby growth dropped from 64th to 24th centile.
I have another scan booked for friday with an aim for the doctors to make a decision based on this regarding delivery.
I have to go in daily for CTG at the moment.
I was booked in for a planned c section at 39weeks anyway so that’s fine, but i am worried about how early it is the baby baby might come.
If anyone else has had a 33/34 weeker, how long was baby in hosp for? Any issues? and what weight would i be looking at?

I already have a 2.5 year old at home and the thought of a baby in here and my baby at home makes me cry.

I had my baby at 34+0 for similar reasons. She was in nicu and the scbu for 3 weeks and one day. It was a weird time of limbo where I knew I had a baby but didn’t feel like I had a baby as I could only hold her for a few minutes a day. But it is just something to get through like any hospital stay!

Hi! I had a 34 weeker who was released with no NICU time then subsequently readmitted for a while due to jaundice complications.

First few weeks are awful but there are almost universally good outcomes at that gestational age. It will work out. I promise.
