Brief Answer:
Usually there should not be any problems with weight above 2500 grams

Hi...Please do not worry. Any baby born more than 2500grams should not have any problem.
Even if the baby is born today, there would not be any problem at all.

Brief Answer:
Only 2 doses are indicated - no need to repeat the dose
Detailed Answer:
Hi..... I understand your concern.
But only two doses are indicated, no need to repeat the dose of Steroid.
As the baby's weight is appropriate we should expect that the lungs would have got matured appropriately.
There is evidence of short-term respiratory benefits from 2 doses of corticosteroids, but, there is insufficient evidence regarding the potential risks and long-term effects to justify the use of repeated doses of corticosteroids in clinical practice. So I do not recommend Steroids again.
I wish your baby a healthy delivery and good health
