Hi
A persistent diastolic notch in uterine artery means utero-placental insufficiency.
But it is showing on one side only(left).You also need to look for umblical artery flow ( normal, decreased or reversal ) and flow in MCA artery. For thiscolor doppler scan is done and it is important to see S/D ratio ,Pi,etc.But all this for your dr. to see and guide you,You should stick for a regular follow up and advice.
For this they have already planned for next scan,
Thanks.
