Bilateral notch
20 weeks here and just completed second trimester scan. Gynae report that i have bilateral notch and i’m on aspirin now. Anyone with similar experiences? Also, understand that this diagnosis will get me rejected if i apply for maternity insurance. Is it true?

I haven't had this myself but I know a few mums who've been flagged with notching and managed their pregnancies well with the aspirin protocol their gynae set out. It's quite common actually and doesn't automatically mean complications, just that your doctor is being extra cautious and monitoring more closely, which is reassuring in its own way. On the insurance side, that's a really practical question but honestly the policies vary so much between providers that you'd need to check directly with them or ask your gynae's clinic if they've dealt with this before when mums apply. The important thing right now is just following your gynae's plan and keeping up with your scans so they can track how things are progressing.
