What Are The Treatments Required After Seeing Unilateral Diastolic Notching In Ultrasound At 18th Week Of Pregnancy?
Im 18 wk with my second pregnancy and baby is measuring perfect !!!! The specialist did note and explained he noted unilateral diastolic notching. He prescribed 81mg aspirin and a follow up visit in 10 weeks . I'm 25yrs of age if that helps . I'm wondering what are the chance of this clearing up on its own or what are correct treatments for this
