More pregnancy stuff
When I was pg with Claudia I did the standard (it was actually new at the time) Barts/quad test at the end of the first trimester I came back with a whopping 1 in 16 risk for DS (my age related risk was something like 1 in 1500). I had a moderately high HCG MOM (which we also had with Jasper) and a very, very low PAPP-A.
It now seems that low PAPP-A is associated with placental failure, stillbirth, preeclampsia, IUGR and preterm delivery. I love clexane & placental function tests.
(with C we ended up with preeclampsia, placental failure & preterm delivery)
