Two vessel cord?
So my doctor tells me there is nothing to stress about when it comes to a two vessel cord. I cant help but think if there is usually three and my baby only has two then there has to be somthing to stress about. I googled it and that definetly made things worse beacuse then all I read about is complications. I would appriciate ANY feedback or information that you might be able to share about this. I am just woried that maybe my doctor is not telling me somthing or maybe it really is nothing? The doctor says as long as there are no other signs of ploblems a two vessel cord is okay. Is there anything I should know?

Re: Two vessel cord?
Yes... avoid google and listen to your dr.
google can be your best friend or your worst enemy - i've learned to just get a second opinion if i have a question ;P -- as far as the two vessel cord goes - my sister had a two vessel cord when my step mom was pg w/ her and she was suuuper healthy - born at 38 wks and scored a 9 on her apgar -- i think that if everything's gone well up til now, you'll be a-okay!!!
My cousin had a 2 vessel cord and had no problems whatsoever. They just made sure that baby was growing according to schedule. She now has a healthy 16 month old with absolutely no problems!
Sometimes Google can be your friend, other times your worst enemy. Definitely trust your Dr. on this one though - it's a fairly common anomoly in fetuses!
