Doppler US – notch right at 13 weeks

The question

Hello Dr Sher,

I hope you're well.

We just had a dating scan at 13w1d, they confirmed everything looks good. However, in the printed report, it states that for the Dopler Ultrasound there is a "notch right" - they didn't discuss this with us, but the PI left reading was 0.780 and the PI Right reading was 1.255, mean PI was 1.255, suggesting there is an imbalance.. does the mean potential hypertension/preeclampsia later on in pregnancy? Is there anything I could do to improve the position, to the extent it needs to be improved.. I'm taking 75mg of baby aspirin perhaps 150mg would be help.

I look forward to your reply.

Many thanks and best regards,
Gemma

Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher

Frankly, I would not be overly concerned. And no,there is in my opinion nothing to do here. except follow up with ultrasound evaluations intermittently.

Good luck!
