ARSA 20-week detailed scan

Hi! Did the 20-week detailed scan last week and found that my baby might have isolated ARSA. Everything else is normal. Did my NIPT test and everything is low risk. Wanted to check if anyone experienced or is experiencing the same thing. Would like to hear your experience. Thank you!

Hello! Firstly, congratulations on completing your 20-week detailed scan and hearing that everything else is normal. It's understandable to feel concerned about the possibility of isolated ARSA in your baby, but it's great news that your NIPT test results show everything is low risk. Isolated ARSA, which stands for aberrant right subclavian artery, is a rare but typically harmless condition where one of the arteries that supplies blood to the arm and head develops in an unusual way. In most cases, it does not cause any symptoms or health issues. It's important to discuss the findings from your scan with your healthcare provider to understand the specific implications for your baby. They will be able to provide you with more detailed information and guidance on what steps, if any, need to be taken. It's always helpful to connect with other parents who may have gone through or are going through a similar situation. You can seek support and insights from online forums, support groups, or even speak to your healthcare provider about connecting you with other families in a similar situation. Remember, each pregnancy and baby is unique, so try to stay positive and trust the guidance of your healthcare team. If you have any further concerns or questions, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for clarification and support. Take care and best wishes for the rest of your pregnancy journey! https://invl.io/cll6she
