Low Papp-a

@Meesh ah thank you for your reply! They’ve said I’m still low risk for the conditions but still at risk of the risk factors that come with low papp-a. They haven’t offered me any further flood tests but have said a doctor will be in contact with me over the next few days in regards to the aspirin prescription and further information. Wishing you all the best🤍

I had low papp a with my little girl! She came out absolutely fine, not affected by it at all. (After I panicked the whole time!!) I think they basically have to warn you of every outcome but usually the baby isn’t affected! Hope everything is all good 🥰

@Faye that’s reassuring to hear! I’m glad all went well for you, did you reach full term? Xx

Yeah it was a huge worry for me but when she came out I asked if my placenta looked normal and they said yes! So it is really weird! I had extra growth scans and stuff and she was a tiny bit on the small side but apart from that absolutely fine! I was induced at 40 weeks which again all went really well x

Same situation for me. Low risk everything just low PAPP-A. On 150mg aspirin per day although some places still do 75mg I think. I know a few friends who had the same and all their babies were fine, term healthy weight babies. Won’t hurt to have a few extra scans as well.

Hey i was Low Papp A with my first (he’s one now). i was on aspirin from 12 weeks and had extra growth scans. They told me i was high risk and i was consultant led. During growth scans they said baby was small, he was under the ten percentile so i had baby monitoring every two days and a planned C section at 37 weeks! Baby was born 5pounds 13. He’s doing great no problems. :)

@Catherine she said they would start me on 150mg but I’m worried because I had some bleeding at the start but I suppose I can mention this to the doctor who’s prescribing it to me. Thank you for the reassurance, it’s nice to hear from people who are going through the same x

@Victoria that’s brilliant news, I’m so glad he’s doing well. How did you find the planned section? Xx

I was low Papp-A with my first baby, low risk everything else. I had to take aspirin daily and had extra growth scans. We had no problems 🙂

I have this with this baby! I had a similar situation with my previous pregnancy but due to not having the screening tests last time I’m not sure if it was low Papp-a But he ended up being a healthy weight even after measuring small!

i really didn’t want one, but baby was also breach so it was the right choice. It was actually really calm and chilled. it was nice how much control it gives you. i was prepared the night before and you go in at seven i was first on the list but bumped to second as there was an emergency. i had my baby before midday:) i had no problem or pain with the spinal. You feel a-bit of pulling and pressure during the op which i didn’t enjoy but it doesn’t last long. and i got to have skin to skin! overall smooth experience:)
