Suggest Treatment For Delayed Fetal Growth On Pregnancy Scan

I am 34 weeks pregnant. The latest ultrasound report suggested that there is 2 weeks delay in the fetal growth. The doctor suggested to have a fetal doppler blood flow test. I was not fully convinced with the doctor, because the 15 weeks ultrasound report suggested that there is a 1 week delay in fetal growth. So, i took the second opinion and they suggested that the test is not required and i need to increase my diet. I am now confused, what to do? and someone told me the ultrasounds harm the fetal. Please assist me??
