Anyone?

I have posted about this before with no reply but I am 24weeks pregnant and after i had my down syndrome scan at 12weeks and blood test it showed i had low pappa which means i have a increased risk for growth problems in my baby and high risk for pre-eclampsia.I had to go back at 24weeks for another scan (after already having my 20week scan) to have a scan and doppler to assess the placenta and i have notches on the left amd right amd its still the same so now i have to go back every 2weeks to the hospital for tests and scans.....This is my 3rd baby and i feel so alone because i have no one i know that has been through it
Has anyone experienced this?Or growth problem?

And no, i didn't know my placenta was breaking down before the 33 weeks with my son, they knew he was measuring undersize and therefore monitored me and his growth til 38 weeks. He was gaining weight during those last few weeks, but not much, so as soon as i got to term they knew he'd be better out than in!

My daughter was only in special care nursery for 2 weeks, she weighed 4lbs, and they waited til she was 4lbs 7oz when they let her come home.

That is reasurring to know,Did your little Girl have to spend long in scbu?Did you know it was breaking down before 33weeks?
My little Girl is very active and already weighs 1lb 7oz at 24weeks which is a good weight.

I developed pre eclampsia with my 1st child, and she was born at 33+5d, she was tiny, but healthy. With my 2nd i was having growth scans from 33 weeks as he was measuring small, my placenta was starting to calcify (break down) and i ended up being induced with him at 38 weeks. He was healthy and was a tiny 4lb 14 bub. I'm not sure about what is going on with your placenta, but its great that they are closely monitoring you, and i hope all turns out well.
