Umbillical Artery

[Summersunx]

Hi guys does this look ok for the umbillical Artery range il attatch a pic.
Thanks

I am not a medical professional , but I have only one artery so I keep on I on this figure too. It is within the normal range, the verbal assessment states it is normal, so I wouldn't worry. Also it is the higher values that are to be worried of, over 90%. (Mine is about 80% for example, so let's hope it stays at there or it will get lower)

Hi oh you only have 1 artery yea she said all was well but it's when you go home and read the paper and start thinking hang on a minute...how many weeks are you now? I think it just made me think what on earth with it being so low makes you think babies not getting enough from the placenta

I think it more likely means that everything is going well. It is a very technical measure, and I don't really understand fully how it is calculated, though.

The PI is the pulsitality index and is a measure taken to assess the resistance of a vascular system. Yours is on the lower but normal end of the scale- this is a good thing as resistance to blood flow going through the umbilical artery can restrict the blood flow to baby from the placenta. Nothing for you to be concerned with here 😊
