Just curious about my 12 week antenatal screening results.
My HCG and nuchal measurements were close to 1 MoM but PaPP-A was 3.23 MoM. If I understand correctly that means more than three times the average!
What does this mean? I've found a lot online about low PaPP-A but very little about high levels except a couple of posts saying that it can mean a very good placenta?
This was quite interesting as my placenta was very close to the cervix with my first child (by 37 weeks it had moved just far enough to avoid a c section). I also had retained placenta after that birth. And although it's very early to tell, at my 12 week scan with this pregnancy the sonographer said the placenta was again very close to the cervix. I'm starting to think I just make massive placentas - or am I overthinking?!
