Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum. This shows an abnormal blood flow pattern in the uterine artery. This may result in high blood pressure later in pregnancy, growth restriction in the baby, a higher incidence of delivery before the due date, a greater need for caesarean delivery.Your wife may require frequnet checkup for her blood pressure and monitoring baby's growth. Take care
