Hey Zinebbenmansour, even I recently tested and my PAPP A level is low 0.33 , good to know you took aspirin Plz make me clear, was there any pregnancy complications due to the low level??
I learned at 36 weeks, after asking some questions about measuring for the baby’s growth, that I had had low Pap A earlier in the pregnancy. Based on this and my advanced maternal age, the midwife sent me for a growth scan a few days later. Learned at the growth scan, by which point I was feeling very sick, that my son was measuring very small, and ultimately that I had HELLP Syndrome. There was NOT a close eye on me. We ended up being okay but I want my doctors to account for this oversight somehow! The low Pap A wasn’t shared with me not any of this information discussed.
I find it so hard to believe that women aren't informed about what is going on in their own bodies and cared for. I hope it all went well for you and well done for demanding better care.
thanks for telling those vital information. There is almost nothing out there, the news devastated my wife when she saw her results of 0.368 MoM. I try to re assure her now that the risk is still quiet low and we have to be careful onward
It is so hard to find good information and the truth is we often just don't understand it fully. It can be very worrying to hear about this so i hope this video gave you some good information.
@@tahirasultana2770 she is doing great. The doctors forced her to be born in the 38th week. (I personally believe it was the 37th). She was born with 51 cm but 2.4kg. she is now 10 month old, in the norm, around 8.5 kg. So she recovered. By the way, we fear my wife might have some intolerance to gluten. And it could be the reason our newborn was smaller than the norm. (But we are not sure yet)
I got to know late that I also have a very low PAPP-A 0.09 i am now 20weeks and felt everything is normal I don't want to felt weak despite of this low pappa im giving all to God if what his plan ang will I had schedule for NIPT tomorrow claimed that everything is normal on my baby🙏🙏🙏
Hi Elana. I'm 24 weeks and was diagnosed with low ppa. I'm also on progesterone insertion tablets until 16 weeks. Any advice or suggestions or questions to ask my midwife?
I was also told at 12 weeks that my papp A was 0.25 and I was anemic. Now i just had 20 week scan. Growth was looking fine everything was fine. I also have anxiety related to this but im trying to stay positive and keep searching and educating myself about it
Im now 28 weeks and just had another scan to monitor and everything seems to be fine. My midwife and doctor said according to my age and history, I shouldnt be worried as it just means a risk- not a diagnosis. So try to stay positive. I am healthy and baby is healthy thus far. I hope I can make it to atleast 38 weeks before going into labour🤞🏼
During 10 weeks, I got NIPT test and the results is low risk but on 12 weeks scan with NHS show low papp a level. It is something I need to worry about?
I have low papp-a of 0.38 mom, currently 33 weeks pregnant without any complications yet. I just learned that I have apparently low papp-a during my FTS. However when I asked my OB, another OB, my midwife and an OB specialized in prenatal testing they said that it was nothing to worry about. After doing some research, I see that almost everyone with levels this low was prescribed aspirin...also the increased risk of genetic abnormalities are scaring the hell out of me. Did anyone have levels this low without any intervention?
Hi, was everything ok with your pregnancy. My wife has been told today that she has low Papp a and I'm worried about the side effects or complications that could come of this pregnancy
I Have been told to take aspirin and I don t want to....i m scared to don t and I I.svared of taking it....if you had that issue would u take aspirin or not?thank s
Hi dear. Just saw ur video. Doctor said your papp-a level is low. I am just worrying that my baby will be normal if he or she has low birth weight or early delivery. I hope everything is fine. I have already kids but never happened this thing. This is first time i heard about it. Please tell me i am really worrying. Thanks.
I had low Papp-a levels and at 16weeks I lost the baby. Do you think that could be a cause why it happened? We are still waiting for the post mortem results, hopefully we can get an answer. If we want to try for another baby do you think we should wait for the results? Thank you xx
I am so sad to hear of your loss. Very often we just don't know what causes miscarriage, despite a post mortem. So little is known about many medical conditions affecting pregnancy. I hope you got some answers. Much love. x
Thank you, Doc, and your reassurance is amazing. Don't look at the condition but the difference and enjoy your baby. WOW
Something you never hear of until it affects you. Thank you so much for this explanation. What causes it and how to prevevntit.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for your information, I'm also having a low papp a 0.37. Now I'm taking 150 mg aspirin. I hope my baby safe.
I hope your baby born oky
I am glad that I was able to help inform you.

These tests are indicators not guarantee. What are you scared of? Having a baby with differences can be very joyful and fulfilling.
