Absent diastolic blood flow

[AuntBug]

Has anyone shown absent diastolic blood flow on their u/s? Just got back from a growth scan at 28 weeks, and not only is our lo absolutely tiny, with most measures under the 1 percentile, but the doppler also showed absent diastolic blood flow.

Well, google and pub-med are not my friends today, and show horrible outcomes for babies that show absent or reversed blood flow. I'm beside myself and would love to hear about anyone elses experiences, particularly positive ones.

The scan shows she only weighs 1.6 lbs, and I'm scared to death of what might happen.

it talks of people who are in your situation. it also mentions for the mom to be on oxygen and viagra to help the baby.

Thank you so much for your response and the link. She's already measuring 1.6 lbs, so everyday is a milestone.
