Anyone with low PAPP-A level?

I was just told by my doctor today my bloodwork was abnormal with low papp-a.  I had both my kids with me, and didn't get a chance to really ask many questions.  I am curious what other OBs have said and what the general game plan is (particularly if your ob is doing something prior to 26 weeks).  Thanks!

    I have low PAPP-A levels. The doctor said it could possibly mean an issue with the placenta (but not likely) so just in case they monitor with monthly ultrasounds.

    I had marginally low PAPP-A levels found around 20 weeks or so. I was told that it could mean my baby would measure smaller and I would be going for growth scans more often during the 3rd trimester. However, I developed GD and that can produce larger babies, so the periantolgist said the two cancel one another out. Really nothing to be too concerned about if you are being monitored.

    Mine also came back low, NT scan measurement was normal as was other blood test.  I don't know how low it is but I am meeting with a genetic counselor this afternoon and I will be getting a high level ultrasound at 16 weeks (I am 15 weeks today).  Glad to read some of these posts saying its not as serious as it sounds, I have completely freaked myself out :(
