Hi lovely please dont worry so much, it won’t do you well.
From my understanding it may be related to your blood pressure? Has it been high?

I’m confused do I have restricted blood flow to my placenta and why? They said my baby’s growing way faster than the rest of its body ? Whag does this mean

From the notes they wrote it does seem to be related to the blood flow pressure to placenta. Whilst not always it is concerning, they want to monitor as it can cause baby growth restriction or preeclampsia which is why i assume they want to check your BP every 3/4 weeks.
The ultrasound technicians do not always explain things clearly, try to call your midwife and maybe she will be able to reassure you. Hope everything goes well! Xx

This is raised uterine dopplers - mine were high picked up at 20w and I had growth scans every 4 weeks. It CAN mean restricted growth, but doesn’t always. Please try not to worry too much - I FREAKED out when I had these results and went down a real rabbit hole. My consultant rightly said she sees this all the time, but understood it was all new and unknown for me, but reassured me that the monitoring was just protocol. If they were worried about anything they’d be monitoring every 2-4 days, not once a month. Feel free to send me a message 💙 don’t want you to worry! X
