Hello,
A fetus is mature by 34 weeks. And required and survive birth. The dexa injections are to help with lung maturity. Take them. But the fetal movements are important. If your fetal movements are less than 12 in 12 hrs, then you need to see your doctor, do a doppler scan. if there is any distress, baby should be delivered.
