persistent right umbilical vein

Hi ladies! I have never posted before and decided to today after our 20 week u/s. We were initially told all was good.Then Dr called me at home where he said baby has a persistent right umbilical vein. Typically the right vein goes away and the left is persistent. Upon looking on the internet (I usually don't do that) I am having a hard time finding any info on this. Has anyone else had this or knows more about it? I'm trying not to panic too much as I wait 4 weeks to go in so baby can get an echo. Thanks!

    Would it be a possibility to call your doctor back and ask for more information? At my anatomy scan my doctor told me some things and I was too caught up in all of it to ask for more information, so I definitely understand where you're coming from! :)

    We had the same results at our 18 week ultrasound and I was terrified waiting to speak to our drs after googling. I would reccomend trying to connect with them before your next appointment try to answer some of your questions. I grilled both a specialist with questions and my best friend who is an obgyn. I was told all other things in our ultrasound were good and not to be too nervouse..., I am holding onto that right now. We have a 28 week ultrasound and specialist appointment to confirm everything is progressing well. So far all the doctors I have spoken with since my ultrasound seem unconcerned...due to the other ultrasound findings. Best of luck!

    We found out at 20 weeks that we have the same thing but no other markers. All our testing has been very low risk (min 1/11000 or better) and they confirmed the brain and heart all look great. I go back next week (week 23) for a followup but told me not to worry. 3 different docs and specialists reviewed our films and said there was no other marker that stood out that usually would if there was an issue.

    A number of doctors have also told me that due to the advances in ultrasound tech they are picking up things like this that they normally would not have seen without really close inspection. Usually they see an issue somewhere else and then look for this. If it is the only thing on your scan, I've been told it's not worth stressing out about.

    This is hard to do, I know. Best of luck! I haven't thought about it too much of late, but I know I will be nervous going in next week!
