So depressed right now :(

I got my letter downs syndrome screening result by post with low risk today. But I also came with a letter said one of my hormone markers is lower than average.

They will book me another growth scan to monitor the baby growth.

Baby size is always on track…

Hi I’ve had the same, it’ll be low PAPP-A. Mine is 0.4 and I was told the cut off is 0.415

I’m a midwife and I honestly wouldn’t be too worried, they’ll just keep a closer eye on baby. They might start you on aspirin too if they haven’t already. It means baby can be born smaller or a bit early xx

I have low Papp-A too, I was a bit worried initially but I’m not now. Been reassured that the majority of babies grow normally and as said just means baby might be a bit smaller or early, it will be ok! x

Even as a midwife i was super worried at first, because this is my own and it’s taken us a long time to get pregnant I’m questioning everything and overthinking everything. But I had a private scan 2 days ago to find out the gender 🩷 and I told the sonographer about it and her response was “ooh so you’ll get some extra growth scans then”, she didn’t seem worried about it at all!

I am planning to book a private scan next week too. Hopefully everything is fine x
My baby size never measure behind from all the previous scan…
