My daughter was born between 38 and 39 wks. She was 5lbs 7oz and didn't even hit 18 in. Steroids do help the lungs develop if they aren't noticing normal breathing patterns from an ultrasound. Mine had fully developed lungs but was about 5 wks behind for size
Oh wow I hope everything works out for you and your daughter! My son is in the 50 percentile I am praying he will be healthy when he comes April 4. Best wishes!:-)
As long as your baby is healthy and developing properly Size shouldn't be a huge issue. I would look into it and try to get as informed as possible. What your risks could be with or without steroids..?
I've had a big scare as to my son being too small. I was hospitalized and given a amniocisist test and the results came back negative to any deformities dwarfism or down syndrome ask your doctor about his concerns with those syndromes. By the way my son is three years old and he only weighs ninteen pounds and is about the size of a 1yr old. Maybe she's just gonna be short . hope all goes well
