Amniotic Band (Synechiae)

I had an US yesterday at 15+1 and picked up the pics and report today.
The report says : There is an amniotic band (synechiae) on the left lower aspect of the uterus.
Then there is a Comment : A small synechiae is noted. Dedicated morphology study is recommended between 18 an 22 weeks.

Mum and I have no idea what this means and my OB is away til next week so I turned to Dr Google and scared the daylights out of myself when pictures of bubs with deformities popped up infront of me :cry:. Reading on, I think that an amniotic band is actually different to a synechiae. It seems the synechiae can simply be scarring from a previous D&C? Or in my case, a termination from many years ago. But I have also read now that because it is low in the uterus it can lead to premature birth, low birth weight and c/s?

Sorry its all muddled up. Has anyone got knowledge of this kind of thing or experience?

TIA from a very worried FTM x

Hugs. I had a friend with one and it resolved. Healthy baby.

My advice... Stay away from Google and wait til your OB is home. Hope it all turns out ok.

I work as a midwife and often see amniotic bands reported on ultrasound but as yet have not seen any adverse affects from this. There is a slight chance apparently that they can cause strangulation of toes, fingers etc but in my experience I am yet to see this happen. All bubs have been born perfect with all there bits.

Thank you both. That is really reassuring mildez.
