27 week trip to L&D

Tuesday I went for a routine growth scan with my MFM and we discovered that baby a who has been a little small all along is now in the 25th percentile while his brother is in the 97th. Baby a is weighing in at 2lbs 1 oz while baby b is 3 lbs even. They checked placental flow and discovered that he is only geting positive flow 1/2 a heartbeat and neutral flow the other half. Hopefully this will get better with bed rest and we can cook a little longer, as long as he continues to gain weight and his flow doesn't go in reverse we will cook on bed rest for at least 3 more weeks (MFMs goal) I am hope hoping we can cook until 34 weeks. we had steroid shots and now they are monitoring my sugars because the steroid can make them higher than they already are. Hopefully this will last no longer than 4 days and then I can go back to diet controlling! By Thursday morning the blood flow was better than tuesday but still not quite as much as the doctor would like it to be... anyone have any experience with this especially how long you lasted before the baby had to be delivered? TIA!

    My reasons for bed rest & steroid shots were completely different but just wanted to wish you and the LO's the best and good luck with bed rest - I went on it at 24w4d and have several more weeks to go so I hope you meet your goal and get off it sooner rather than later!
