Thank you for the info.....I have no idea what was wrong with her placenta.As the forum physician, I should chyme in here. First off, my prayers are with you and your family. Secondly, the main test we use for placenta abnormalities is the ultrasound, which frankly is much harder to read that most people think. Having said that, an experienced OBGYN should have been able to do this without any trouble as it is considered a daily-use test in their practice. Do you know what was wrong with her placenta? Did she have Placenta Previa, Placenta Abrupto, Placenta Accreta, or Vasa Previa?
Thanks Nate, I'm not sure what hospital she's at, they live in Colorado.What hospital is she at? I wish you and your FAM the best, J.
Scary? Why's that Mike?done.... :thumbup:
the whole Auntie J thing is a bit scary![]()
My thoughts & prayers are with her & her parents ......
What's her name?
Congrats to auntie! As an OB/GYN (who is in the second year of training to become a high risk OB) I can tell you that the placenta is to blame for most growth restriction. The abnormal AFP (unexplained abnormal AFP) just shows that the problem with the placenta started early. Unfortunately, while US is helpful in monitoring the pregnancy, there is very little we can do to modify the outcome. Prior to the advent of US, the outcome would not have been this good. I see babies born much smaller than 4lbs. Girls do better than boys in the NICU. All will be well.
Congrats again!
