Low Papp-A

I'm currently 40w+3. I went to midwife at 40weeks and was told I will be booked for an induction at 41 weeks. I was surprised to not be offered a sweep (for my first baby i was given 2 or 3 sweeps). Should I have asked for one? Also they said for the induction they would do either the baloon or pessary and send me home for 13 hours. With the low papp a risk, shouldn't I be kept in and monitored more? I'm now more worried than I was throughout the pregnancy!

Anyone else had this combo?

I'm having the invasive testing next week as the initial screening came back as high risk for Edwards and Patau and now looking at the high HCG there's also concerns around Downs Syndrome.

I am currenlty 35 weeks, I have not taken any aspirin for low papp a due to allergy to aspirin so I am just having more monitoring/scans. When I had my 32 week scan and followup midwife appt I was told the baby is 19th percentile. Apparently normal is from 10th-90th so they said nothing to worry about. They then said when I do my 36 week scan that if the size drops down from the chart that they will consider if they need to induce me!

Has anyone been through simillar and can give advice or share their experience?

I have had my results a few days ago and I have low Papp a 0.7 , is this okay or not? Because nobody has been in contact with me to say otherwise

Thank you xx

Hi everyone, I had my blood test after the NHS 12 week scan on Monday, and just had a call from the screening midwife to say the blood test results show a 1/91 chance of baby having Down syndrome which is considered high.

I also have low PAPP-A (0.24 MoM) which I understand may be the main cause for the higher Down’s syndrome result.

I had the NIPT today so now a weeks waiting game.

Can anyone please share their experiences with a similar result?

Thanks in advance
