Single Umbilical Artery ?

Does/did anyone have this, and if so, could you share your experience with me?

We found out at our 20 week u/s this week that we've got a two-vessel cord.  At this point, everything about the baby looks fine...other soft markers are not present and my NT, AFP, and other tests have all been good.  However,  I'm still worried and the internet research out there is not particularly comforting.

    I did not but I have two friends that had this while pregnant.  More trips to the Doctor to monitor the baby but both babies were born perfectly health (one even at 8 lbs 2 oz).  Best thing is not to stress. :)

    I also have a 2vc.

    My doctor found out at my 20 week ultrasound but did not bother to inform me until 28 weeks!

    We are having a fetal echo to make sure his heart is developed normally, but it's just a precaution (from what I gather...I haven't seen the doctor in person since it was diagnosed, but trust me, I will be yelling at my appointment next week).

    The medical mumbo jumbo on the web is discouraging. I much prefer to look at the sites directed towards pregnancy--much more optimistic :p
