Hi my wife is 28 weeks pregnant. The development of the baby is slow as the doppler scan is showing a growth of 26 weeks pregnancy. The outcome of the doppler scan shows that both the uterine artery are showing persistence of diastolic notch. Please let me know is this a sign of worry? What can be possible outcome?

Hi Jay,
Welcome to HCM.
Persistence of the notch after 22 weeks is associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension, low birth weight, and higher rates of operative delivery and longer duration of nursery care.
You need to follow up regularly for fetus growth record. As well you need to look for signs of hypertension and risk of pre eclampsia in mother.
You can discuss it with your gynecologist.
Best regards,
Dr. Neelam.
