Is Bilateral Uterine Artery Notching A Cause For Concern During Pregnancy?

Risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Notching in bilateral uterine arteries is an independent risk factor for pre eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, low birth weight, decreased amniotic fluid etc.
I have done and published my research on second trimester uterine artery doppler, you can read the article by clicking on the link below:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC0000/
If uterine artery doppler notching is found in 2 nd trimester, then the antenatal visits should be done regularly, and these complications should be searched for and treated at the earliest.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

I went through emergency LSCS and delivered baby at 33 weeks with birth weight 1.2kg,my baby suffered perinatal brain injury and at 4 months of age she got Cerebral Palsy diagnosis
Perinatal birth injury could be due to prematurity or low birth weight.
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
It was hard luck for you.
Uterine artery notching is highly indicative of pre eclampsia and fetal growth restriction.
Perinatal birth injury could be due to prematurity or low birth weight.
