Brief Answer:
Change the Doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) 2 loops of cord around neck and mild IUGR are not a great concern anis normal to have such features at 36 weeks,

2) There is no need of Betnesol injections at this stage of pregnancy. I guess your doctor is planning for operative cesarean section delivery.

3) I think you should change your doctor. Seek second opinion in your city.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
