High risk!?! Has anyone had this ?

Question

Hello lady’s I’m looking to see if anyone else has had this. I am 24 weeks pregnant with my first baby.  I have had three ultrasounds done and I have been told that the baby’s umbilical cord Is in the wrong location. 
The cord is normally in the center of the placenta but mine is in the side. 
Has anyone else had this? What were the steps the doctors had you take? I am trying to stay calm and not just google it but I have to wait to talk to the specialist. They said i will be watched very  closely and possibly have ultrasounds every week ????
I’m not normally one to ask but please keep my little baby in your prays. ♥️Thank you for any words of advice.

Answer

Is it a marginal insertion or a velementous insertion?
My sister had a marginal insertion (off to the side) and I think she got 1 extra ultrasound in the 3rd tri to check growth and cord flow. Her baby was breech so she ended up with a c section (only reason for it)
I had a velementous insertion (attached to placenta membranes not placenta). I had monthly then weekly ultrasounds and NSTs. I was induced at 39 weeks because baby was measuring small and just to be safe. I had a vaginal delivery. They just made sure to be gentle when delivering the placenta so the cord wouldn't detach. But otherwise very normal induction.

Answer

Yep!  Currently 24 weeks and have the same thing. Will be getting extra ultrasounds at 28 and 34 weeks to check for growth and extra fetal monitoring at the end of the pregnancy to make sure there aren’t cord decelerations.
