I am 36 yrs. Pregnant. Running 32 wks. Have gestational diabetes, obstretic cholestasis, and am beta thalassemia carrier. Present hb is 7.5 after bng administrated wth orofer 2 units through IV on 4/5/2017.(Before that hb went down to 6). Was admitted in hospital on 3/5/17 with sluggish fetal movement. Done CTG on 3/5/17 .Report is ok. And colour doppler on 4/5/17 which indicates mild resistance in umbilical artery. CRP > 1. Later on after discharge from hospital colour doppler was again repeated on 14/5/17. Report is normal. I am on insulin. Doses: 6-14-4 units / day. I am been advised to take 2 shots of steroids for the development of the lungs of my unborn baby prior to delivery. Can I deliver my baby preterm at 33 wks / 34 wks? Wat can be the possible risks/ consequences? 8.

Hello dear Lybrate user. You are having many medical problems in your pregnancy. Ideally if your doctor can, she will try to deliver you by 38 weeks but in case of any emergency, she has taken the precautions and correctly given steroid injections for baby's lung maturity, If required, you might be delivered earlier too. It will be good for your baby.
