Good afternoon Ladies,
I had my first trimester screening last week and the genetic counselor told me my hormone Papp A was low, 2%. I spoke with my OB and she said that they would continue to monitor the baby with additional ultra sounds, but that I was at risk for pre-clampsia, pre-term labor and growth restriction. Has anyone else experienced Low Papp A and if so what was the outcome? Is there anything else I could or should be doing to help my baby?
Re: Low Papp A
I actually went over 41 weeks with her and had to be induced. (for several reasons)
The doctors told me there was nothing to do except wait and keep checking. When they were worried about her growth I did increase my protein intake. One doctor had told me to although another told me it would make no difference.
