low papp-a and ...

[jodienz]

my papp-a is only 0.09!! and also a couple of things showed on u/s, flexed spine which curves to the right and also a wide space between the eyes (wider than normal), NT was 1.7mm which is good, anyone else experienced any of this?? oh baby is also now measuring 2 weeks behind.

This is worst case scenario, but sharing in case you wanted to research/ask doctor about it etc.

I'm not sure what my levels were but I am pretty sure thats the stuff that was low that caused my bloods to give me a 1:79 risk of down syndrome.
My daughters Nuchal measurement was perfect but she also measured 1.5 weeks behind. Her eyes were fairly wide-set too. Her arms also didn't form completely but this wasn't even picked up at the 12 week scan (!!!). She had a chromosomal abnormality called Triploidy.

annnnnnnnnnnnd I just realised this post was from January.

Best of luck for your CVS MrsBroodyPant I may have stalked your profile because I now feel like I'm being some sort of negative Nancy when the post is months old! Sorry

Its ok i just wanted to see how her journey is going/turned out.
My papp-a amd hcg are extremely low. Might be a chromosome disorder but no signs of anything wrong on US and it has been checked by 2 docs. No sign of any abnormalities yet. I will have to see what the CVS results show xxx
