Marginal insertion ??

Question

So at my anatomy scan i was told the baby umbilical cord connects to side of my placenta which normally it’s suppose to connect to the center of the placenta .... has anyone experience this or have some knowledge of it ?? I never heard of it and i haven’t talked to my ob yet  i know i have to get a ultrasound every 4 weeks now to check my baby’s growth .

Answer

I have that now-they found at 20w ultrasound I have a bilobed placenta with marginal cord insertion. I have been going to maternal fetal medicine specialist to monitor baby’s growth and monitor placenta/cord issues. 
I’m 32w2d now. Just actually had appointment with fetal medicine yesterday. Baby is growing perfectly and everything looks the same and cord has not shifted (still marginal and not moved to velamentous) so they said we can graduate and just continue with my OB. My OB office wants to do another growth ultrasound at 36w. And will be having a scheduled csection at 39w-also a repeat for me.
When all this started I was a wreck because OB wasn’t sure what was wrong. Getting the ‘diagnosis’ helped and it’s just been extra monitoring. Everything has been good, baby is great and the doctors have been very supportive.
Hope this may help even alittle

Answer

Yes great info ... so we’re u referred to the specialist by your ob?
