Low Papp a

I’ve got the exact same, they put me on aspirin, and at my 20 week scan they did a uterine Doppler test, and I’ve got a notch in one of the arteries, but they are not too concerned, they just need to keep an eye on his growth, so I’m having regular growth scans, got my first one in June

@S Marie I’m currently 29weeks pregnant and got diagnosed at 12weeks with low papp-a levels. Since then I’ve been taking aspirin as prescribed on a night. Baby girl is growing perfectly well she’s even measuring a week ahead. It was scary when I found out and I would lie if I said I didn’t automatically think the worst. But now knowing how well she’s growing I’m so glad they did. The aspirin has improved blood flow to the baby through the placenta which is clearly helping. They’re still not quite sure why some people get it but the earlier we know the better. Try your best not to worry. Xx

@Amelia exactly the same 🩷🩷

I had this, my level was 0.37 and I was also really worried! I kept googling and thinking the worst 😩 i was on aspirin from 14 weeks- 36 weeks. I had a uterine Doppler test at 20 weeks and all was fine and then had extra growth scans at 32, 34, 36 and 38 weeks and again no concerns. I had a healthy baby girl in Feb that weighed 7lbs. My understanding is that it’s not a diagnosis but more a risk factor. Hope this reassures you a little xx

I had low Papp a …. I was devastated as previously I had two miscarriages; however, my baby was born and is absolutely fine :-) he’s currently having some milk x

Hi please no need to worry it’s just risk factor . I was diagnosed at 12 weeks of low papp A I was too much worried as this was my first pregnancy. I had extra growth scans extra monitors. They presented me 150mg aspirin after 12 weeks which I take every day. Baby girl born prefectly healthy at 40+1 via c section. She is 3 months now 🙏and doing very well. Just try to eat protein rich diet. Definitely take pregnacare during pregnancy .definitely eat pomegranate and beetroot fresh juice. They are good for blood 🩸 level maintain.
