    I haven’t personally experienced this, but a close friend of mine did. She got lots of extra peeks at the baby, and all was well!

    I'm 19weeks and just found out at my anatomy scan this week that I also have a 2 vessel cord. My detailed ultrasound with the high risk doc has been scheduled, but this waiting in between is THE WORST! I just want to KNOW that everything is ok. I hope everything has worked out for you. Just know you're not alone!

    Me three! Everything has been fine thus far. Just a ton more doctor appointments and extra peeks at the baby. Hope all has gone well for you as well!

    I have an almost 5 year old that had this. She’s perfect in every way. I did have two NST’s a week from 13 weeks until I was induced at 38. She did not have any other abnormalities besides this but I spent my entire pregnancy quite nervous about what can go wrong in this situation. I calmed my
    nerves a tiny with a home Doppler.
    She failed every single NST for lack of movement except for the one that was performed when she had hiccups. I was evaluated by Labor & Delivery after every single NST because of this so I wound up getting an ultrasound just about every week.
    I know it’s very difficult not to feel anxious or worried but try to stay positive and know that in all likelihood everything will be fine. I regret wasting so many days filled with fear and anxiety instead of handing it over to the universe (my higher power) or god or whatever else you believe in.

    My baby has that and she’s been measuring small. Her abdomen is at less than 1%. I’m 1 month from delivery and I see both ob and high risk drs. They say it’s ok. Is there anything I can do to ensure I give her the best chance?

    Read with hope- Had this with my first- it did take us down a long road of medical stuff and my daughter needing surgery- but I am forever grateful that they found it because it let me know what was coming, we had a plan in place, I had time to prepare, and best of all my daughter is alive and healthy. 

    Statistically what I went through was rare- most people I know who have the dual cord just get extra ultrasounds!
