What Does My Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?
Nothing worrisome.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The early diastolic notch refers to a pattern of blood flow in the fresh-blood vessels that carry blood from the mother to her uterus. It reflects the efficiency of the supply system between the mother and the baby. Persistence of this notch after 24 weeks of pregnancy can predispose the pregnancy to some medical conditions that would come up in these pregnancies as time goes on. Fortunately these can be monitored and treated. Also, they may not happen in every case. These conditions include high blood pressure, fetal growth restriction, low birth weight, a higher chance of a Caesarean section, a need for premature delivery and a longer stay in the nursery for the baby. From time to time your doctor will frequently examine you, prescribe additional tests and suggest medication and life-style changes to ensure a healthy outcome for you and your baby. This is a screening test that helps doctors to identify patients that need extra attention in pregnancy and child-birth and is certainly no cause for alarm for you or your baby.
Decreased baby movement is due to baby comes down,it has no relation with baby movement.Also this is not a indication of c-section.
