Hi
I have recently had an appointment with the obstrician, he did a scan because I hadn't felt the baby move for a day - it moved on the scan Phew! However he said that the ward dopplers were 4.3 which is high. He also said I have to have weekly visits to my midwife as a result (I am only 26 weeks) Does anyone know what the Ward Dopplers are? I tried dr google but couldn't find anything - First time ever! I am going to ask my midwife tomorrow but the suspense is getting to me. Thanks ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

A doppler ultrasound is an ultrasound is that looks at the blood flow through a vessel. It's the actual procedure rather than the result so you might have picked up on the wrong word. Just a complete guess then - but possibly the blood flow in the placenta is what he was talking about? ------------- Adoring Mum to Talisin 8/9/11 and Kiara 18/01/10 |

Thanks, He did say that it was the flow, but I'm not sure what the ratio means, The letter he sent said "the ward dopplers were 4.3."
I think it either means that too much blood is flowing into the baby or out, but I was hoping someone knew which way. I will find out tomorrow from the midwife. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">
