That's a relief! Thank you. The doctors said the arteries were borderline, which is why I'm on lda, but I remember the shape and it looked like the "normal", so at least when they measured it then, it was just the hypertension.
Here's hoping it stays that way!

Uterine dopplers..
Hello,
I've been reading some of the older posts, and thinking about the uterine dopplers. Some of the posts talk about "notching" being a sign of pre-e. Can anybody describe what the doppler is supposed to look like, and then what a notched dopper would look like? Pictures would be even better if they're available.
