hello..<br> is this early pregnancy.. At 16 weeks of pregnancy it is perfectly normal for one or both main uterine arteries to show an early diastolic notch. As pregnancy advances this notch disappears. It reflects the relationship between the growing placenta and the muscles and blood vessels in the uterus. The notch disappears by 22 weeks of pregnancy. Persistence of the notch after 22 weeks is associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension, low birth weight, and higher rates of operative delivery and longer duration of nursery care. The notch can be very satisfactorily treated with medication.&#160;<br> While notching can be either systolic or diastolic, it is typically seen as a through like notch between the systolic and diastolic phases. The presence of a notching in late in pregnancy is an indicator of increased uterine vascular resistance and impaired uterine circulation. Bilateral notching is more concerning.
