Low papp-a

Hi.
I have just been told I have low papp-a, 3.6.
I was low risk for downs syndrome.

Panicking a bit to say the least. Anyone else have experience of this?

Thanks x

I had low papp.a with my last pregnancy I was put on 2 x 70mg aspirin a day and had extra growth scans, everything was fine at the scans, try not to worry too much.

Forgot to add you'll get to see the consultant after grow scans each time too.
Have you been offered to see a consultant? I know they rang me to tell me I had low papp.a. then was seen at hospital at a later date x

Thanks @Butterflyinthesun. I have an appointment tomorrow with the screening midwife. I have been told to take 150mg of aspirin starting this evening.
