Pregnant. Doppler Scan Showed Notch In Uterine. Is It A High Risk In Pregnancy?

hi Doctor, I am 30 weeks 6 days pregnant today. yesterday I had my doppler scan and the result says i have a notch in my left uterine artery. My BP has been stable til now. I am on few medications like, Thyronorm .50, Iron & Calcium. I also have a 20mm Gall stone. I am really worried about this notch...as whatever research i ahve been able to do since yesterday states it may end up as high risk pregnancy. i have my doc s appointment scheduled tomorrow, but till then, i cannot stop thinking and worrying... I would be glad if you could share your insights on the same.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The small notch in the left uterine artery is not worrisome if there is a normal growth of the baby and the liquor volume is adequate. It is just a small physiological variation and is not worrisome.
