PAPP-A results

So my blood results are in and it says low chance of having Down syndrome or Edward/Patau’s syndrome, but in my last pregnancy I had a low PAPP-A but I’m not sure about the results this time, can anyone please explain to me please?

1.12 MOM I think which is really good. I’ve just got PAPP A results at 0.21 which is low… can I ask how your pregnancy was when yours were low?

I can’t remember how much was my papp a last time but I was feeling ok, they told me the baby might come slightly smaller but I gave birth on the 39th week and he was 3kg so pretty normal weight, they offered me more scans just to make sure he’s growing fine and that was about it, how you feeling?

one week I had them done on the 5th of May, received them today, so 6 working days?

you’re welcome ☺️

A PAPP-A of more than or equal to 0.5 MOM is considered normal. A PAPP-A of less than 0.5 MOM is marked as low. So 1.12 is perfectly normal.

thank you 🙏🏻

had mine done same day as yours and I’m still waiting

I think I’m just lucky because she did say i should get it in 2 weeks so I am a little surprised tbh 😅

C-section time off

If I have a c-section can I take sick leave then maternity or can I only take maternity?

No reassurance from my care team

Hi gals, I’m 34 weeks today and a ftm feeling like I have no reassurance from my care team at all… I went to see my midwife today and mind you the last bit of reassurance I had was at 19 weeks with an anatomy scan, my midwife had informed me more than once I won’t be sent for another scan unless I pay for a private one on my own

At 31 weeks my fundal height was measuring 32cm today I’m measuring 33cm that’s 1 cm difference between 3 weeks this would mean he’s now measuring under… why am I the only one concerned about this? I don’t know if he’s big or small anything haven’t seen him on ultrasound for weeks I’ve had no reassurance that’s he’s growing okay and that my body is doing the right thing for him I was also informed I’m high risk for pre eclampsia I’m on a low dose of aspirin until 36 weeks every appointment they don’t test my urine for protein to check and I go into labour n delivery with concerns and symptoms of pre eclampsia they shut me down tell me it’s acid reflux and send me home every time… has anyone’s antenatal care experience been similar?? I feel so not reassured and under cared for? I’m worried about little man’s growth.

Sex!

Me and my husband are TTC. Sometimes after sex i have noticable drippage but other times, nothing noticeable at all but he says he finished inside. Usually aswell i notice more on the first fay of sex then little to none as it goes on if we had sex multiple days in a row. Im worrying , does that mean he didnt finish ? He says he did. I was wanting to ask, do you ladies always feel drippage? Or sometimes not? Im getting stressed out about it and a little disheartened x thanks so much

Wanting my tubes tied during C-section

I just wanted to hear others experience with this and the whole process really, I am in my first trimester but I know I don't want anymore children and I'm 27 (I'll be almost 28 when my youngest will be born).

Anterior placenta mamas, how often did you feel kicks?

I've just had my 20 week scan and was told I have an anterior placenta. I'm convinced it's more to the right because I feel a fair amount of something to the left.

I've felt little pops the past few mornings and 1-2 throughout the day. Only felt it once with my hand a few days ago. My question is, how often did you feel kicks and when? I'm just curious if 2-3 times a day is what to expect or if I'm literally just feeling gas 🤣 although I think I know the difference.

Hospital and home visits

How do you feel about hospital and home visits after the baby is born?
My in laws want to go to the hospital but I want to set boundaries and have time to ourselves to allow us to settle in.
