Update #1

Waiting to get my amnio right now (should be within an hour or so). A nurse just told me that even with the steroid shots there is only a 10% chance that they will be mature...uhhg.

I'm hearing such conflicting stories so now we just wait on the amnio and see what it shows (one of the down sides of a large practice). I feel very comfortable with all the docs but I just want to know what's going on.

I am fine staying pregnant longer if it's for the babies but bottom line is Baby B isn't growing.

Hang in there momma, and don't you get discouraged! You have done a wonderful job growing these babies and they will be okay!!! It's important that Baby B come out if he isn't growing, even if that means that everyone's lungs aren't mature yet! It's okay!!! Keep the faith hun, and keep us updated!! Many ((HUGS)) your way! Thinking of all of you today and praying for a safe and smooth delivery!!

You're doing great! My triplet boys were born at 30 weeks. They were given the steroids at 24 weeks (I had preterm labor) and again hours before delivery. What I didn't know is that they can be given the same steroids once they are born to continue lung development. Two of my three were given the shot AFTER delivery. *I too had a "growth restricted" one.
