What Does The Following Doppler Result Indicate?

Hi, My wife is at week 34 after having a doppler tge results came like that : AFI 6 cm, Amniotic fluid is fine turbid in aspect, below average in amount baby weight 2048 gm Umbilical artery RI =0.56 CNS: Neural tube defects excluded and no masses or cysts. Skeletal: All bone defect are excluded with normal vert column. Renal: Normal filling of urinary bladder and normal kidney. GIT: normal filling of stomach, normal texture of intestine. Genitals : normal Face: normal ------------------------- Not adequate skin and lung maturity, low fetal weight. So we need to know what is the risks here and what can we do? Her Dr. prescribed daily dose clexane to her before this doppler and after he saw the results he increased the dose to twice per day. I ve read that the clexanr may result in decreasing og the amniotic fluid, it was a very very small percentage, so I want to know is this maybe the cause?
