Single Umbilical Artery

Lori

So I was told that my baby boy only has two blood vessels in his umbilical cord instead of three. They are having me get blood work done for the different "syndroms" tomorrow.

It worries me because with my 2nd child 1st son I was at increased risk for several, but he had no complications.

Now my last pregnancy, I am told that genetic testing will be done again since it's a new doc, and that they have to do an ultrasound every 3 weeks, because this can lead to still birth, the baby could have problems developing his heart, and gaining wait as he should.

That is just some of the things I was told by my doc. Has anyone else experienced this. What was your outcome, or are you going through it right now.
