hypocoiled umbilical cord and circumvallate placenta

Hi Ladies!
Went in for my anatomy scan and was informed that while baby is growing just fine in there I have a cirumvallate placenta and a hypocoiled umbilical cord. Wondering if any of you ladies have any experience with either (or both!) variables? I'm extremely nervous. My midwife comforted me and reassured me that as long as there were no complications/fetal distress that everything should be fine. Just looking for a mama that may have been through the same thing! I am 20 weeks and 5 days today.

Re: hypocoiled umbilical cord and circumvallate placenta
The only thing they did different was give me a ultrasound every month to be sure her growth is staying on track
im 38 weeks now and she's in the 68th percentile so all is good.
its more common than you think and sometimes not picked up by ultrasound.
dr told me he's had babies born and didn't know the cord was like that until after the fact.
I'm unsure about the placenta situation but the cord issue is likely not an issue at all
