2nd Trimester

2 vessel cord???

Does anyone else have a 2 vessel umbilical cord? i just found out that I do and was wondering if anyone else is worrying about it like myself.

  • I do and I am worried, but I am not as far along as you.  as long as your chromosomal blood work and your babies heart and kidneys look great you are in the clear.  Most times this means nothing.  Hang in there!  What did they tell you to do next?  What did they say when they told you?

  • I do - I was told by the high risk dr. when we went in for our amnio. He said it wasnt a big deal and that they would just watch to make sure the baby was growing as it should be. He said sometimes (but not always) the baby is a bit smaller.) He said my OB would likely have me come in for another u/s in my 3rd tri to check growth.
  • Thanks for the post! They just said that I have to go back and have another ultrasound in a few weeks to double check since they weren't 100% sure. And also do an ECHO of the babies heart to make sure it's ok but from there not to worry that most of the time things work out fine. Good Luck to you and hopefully everything works out fine. : )
  • Thanks! Did they recommend an amnio?  I asked my Dr if I should do this and she said there was no need.  I am so nervous though - I think I want it to make sure.  Thoughts?  What did your drs say?
  • No my Dr. never mentioned that. But I think even if I wanted it I am past the point of getting it and it done safely.
