Marginal Cord

Hello Everyone! I had my anatomy scan this morning and thank God all the parts are there! But, they did mention that I have a Marginal cord insertion. (The umbilical cord isn't attached in the middle of the placenta, it's over near the side.) They didn't seem too concerned but I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with this? I'll be getting increased monitoring closer to the 3rd trimester because it can affect the baby's growth in some cases. One more thing I'm trying not to freak out over!! Trying to give it to God and stay chill!!

    I don't have any experience with the cord being over on one side but my cousin had a two vessel cord and baby was born a little small but otherwise perfectly healthy! I hope you don't have any problems because of the cord.

    Thanks @wyomama0427! The ultrasound tech said I would have more frequent ultrasounds closer to the 3rd trimester and there isn't anything they can do about it so I suppose I'll just have to wait and see. I'm hoping my OB will schedule a c-section and then I won't have to worry as much about it. She said that if I naturally give birth the cord can come off easier and then they have to go in and manually pull out the placenta. Definitely doesn't sound like fun!!

    Also...my placenta came out in one swoop and they had the interns come look at it because it's kind of a rare thing (the cord insertion).
    I didn't get a doula because I was panicked that I'd end in a C Section and not really need...I wouldn't schedule a C though if everything is going well...
