Thanks for your reply Bridee. I am so glad to hear your baby is growing well at 19 weeks.
Our doctor said this to us too, that the baby doesn't really start growing independently until about the 20th week, so fingers crossed it keeps growing like a champion for the next 20 weeks!
Please keep me updated on how everything goes. I wish there was something we could do to 'fix' this!

NT: 1.28
freeBHCG: 1.1 MOM
Papp-a: .28MOM
We also elected to have the CSV which came back with everything being good. Given there are no other markers you should be ok as well. My OB has said he has had patients reach 39weeks but other only reaching 28 so it is very individual. I'm having additional growth scans at this stage at 28 and 32 weeks but really all depends of the results.
My 19 week scan showed bubs was growing right on target but OB has said it really isn't until 28 weeks where we can start to tell what might happen as that is when bubs will start to have growth spurts. My 19 weeks did show that bubs has only a single umibilical artery (SUA) (instead of 2), this is linked to kidney problems (but scan showed bubs does have 2 kidneys) and small babies. Given we were already expecting a small baby from the papp-a that is not a big shock. Anyway I don't think the SUA is linked in anyway to the papp-a just lucky (hahah) to get the 2 issues in the one pregnancy.
Anyway can't really help you with the outcome of pregnancy but it is great to hear someone else going through the same thing coz I don't think it is really common. |
