Diastolic notch means that you are at risk of having increased blood pressure in pregnancy. If your blood pressure is normal you can go for vaginal delivery, need not worry

Diastolic notching does not indicate iugr
As per the ultrasound findings there is no growth restriction
Diastolic noching indicates less blood flow in the uterine artery
Since blood Flow in the uterine artery is normal nothing to worry
The ultrasound needs to be repeated to understand your chances of normal delivery
