Incognito on Peanut: Low Papp-A

Hi all
I have just got a letter from NHS regarding my blood test at 13 weeks yesterday.

It mentioned that my hormone markers is lower than average. This freaks me out after a miscarriage in July.

I didn’t have any issue with my first child. I feel really panic now. My appointment with the consultant would be next Thursday at 15+2.

I was told I have low Papp-a at 5 month scan but I’ve had no letter come through apparently it’s common they said that’s why they didn’t mention it, I’m having extra scans though

Hey, I was told I had low PAPP-a at my screening appointment then I was under a consultant for the remainder of my pregnancy with some other stuff too. All the risk factors really had me on edge but my boy was born absolutely perfect and a healthy weight

If it helps my sonographer said at my 20 week scan she’s never seen a baby born with low birth weight as a result of low papa-a which reassured me!

Thanks all x
This is killing me so badly… I can’t stop thinking of the negative the whole night… googling makes things 10x worse 😔

i got told i have low Papp-A at my 12 week blood tests too, was also so freaked out and worried what it could mean, i’m now 37 weeks with a big chunck of a baby measuring on the 94th centile and is very healthy! please try not to over think it :)xx

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !
