Low PAPP-A

[mrsgtobe97]

Just had my screening results back from my NHS dating scan and it's thankfully low risk for downs, Edward's & patau's however my PAPP-A is slightly low so I need to start aspirin, however I'm now very scared this means something bad is going to happen later on, I didn't even know what it was until today! Anyone been through similar?

Don't panic, the aspirin helps thin the blood slightly so that the baby receives a great supply from you via the placenta. Nutrients etc. Lots of people take it during pregnancy

My papp a was extremely low (0.22)eant baby was high risk for all 3 chromosomal issues but he is completely fine. He was born at 37 weeks as mu placenta started to fail which can be indicated by low papp a but rarely is.

thank you both, trying not to stress too much about it as I can't do anything, just trying to hope for the best outcome 🥺
