Two vessel umbilical cord worried mumma

Saraya

Hi ladies, I had my 20 week morphology scan done and the midwife told me that everything was normal but then she added that I have a Two vessel umbilical cord. From my understanding there is supposed to be 3 vessels. I am just hoping there is other mummas out there that have had the same experience? I was told that we may have to monitor the baby’s growth because only having two vessels can cause a low birth weight or growth problems. If anyone has any tips on how to increase babies growth and weight please share!

Please for my own mental health only post positive outcomes.

Sending love to those who didn’t have good outcomes ❤️

Yes!!! The baby might be born a little small, or grow up to be just a little smaller. But that’s all about it that I have noticed. Definitely nothing to worry about! They probably will have more monitoring towards the end but I think that is about all

I had the same thing. She was born 4lb 10oz but she is healthy. They didn’t even know I had two vessel until delivery. Try not to worry. At her first check up the pediatrician said there are risks with two vessels but it’s a low chance. The only thing was her low birthweight but I had two other reasons she was so small.

I hope that everything is okay.Looks like no one commented. I saw this post a while ago and said “you better move along because you had a bad outcome.” But if you want to hear it, I’m here. Hope it turns out better for you. ❤️
