One slight club foot and 2 vessel umbilical cord...problem???

Question

I was told yesterday at my ultrasound that my baby may have a club foot (her feet were crossed the whole time) and a 2 vessel umbilical cord. 
Has anyone had this? My doctor said it is linked with trisomy 13.... Her heart and everything else is perfectly normal and everything else is healthy as can be... So I'm not sure what to think of this. This is my first pregnancy (25 years old).

Answer

My daughter had a two vessel cord because one artery stopped having blood flow and slowly disappeared. It didn't develop that way.

When there's a 2VC present, doctors are concerned about restricted growth, kidneys and heart. Long as those issues are cleared, the only "risk" left is labor. To make sure that final artery can withstand the strain of labor.

Here's my 2VC babe, and she was born 4 days early and 7lbs 11oz and absolutely 0 complications. What is considered "high risk" in some cases, can just be another variation of normal for others.

Answer

My son had a 2 vessled umbilical cord and he was just fine, no heart problems or anything :)

Answer

its hard to tell right here but they thought my daughter had club foot but her foot just got stuck in my rib and was turned but it fixed itself within a month.
