Low hormone level

4 replies

My mw has said my blood tests came back showing a certain hormone to be low which can cause the placenta to not function as well.

This can restrict the baby's growth so I've got to have extra scans to monitor the baby throughout.

She told me not to worry but of course I am, I just wanted to see if anyone else has been through this or know what to expect etc?

Thanks

do you know what hormone it is? maybe there's medication you can take to supplement it?

How far along are you? My sil had low hormone levels I think and she had injections for first 12 weeks to get her uterus strong enough to continue carrying baby. Baby was born on time and v healthy!!

I'm 15 weeks now, I think it was the PAPP-A level that was low but I don't know how low.

The mw said I'll be having an app at the hospital to discuss it in more detail and I'll have extra scans to monitor the growth.

As far as I know the results for ds etc all came back low risk.
