Baby is less than actual gestational age
I am 34 weeks 2 days pregnant according to LMP today. All ultrasounds were fine but on 22nov i got admitted in hospital due to breathlessness issues. After that pulmologist had to start omnacortin(steroid) for 3 weeks to improve condition of cough and breathlessness. Now in growth scan at 34 weeks baby is coming as of 31 weeks 3 days( 3 weeks delay) everything else was fine in growth scan. Now steroids are stopped and i am on protein rich diet. Is there any cause of concern and gow can i improve that
