Single unbilical artery.... who else has had this?

[briggsy's girl]

Niadla - BW's little Samuel was a SUA baby - they monitored his growtha bit closer and checked kidneys and heart at subsequent scans, but he is fine

hopefully she'll see this when she next comes online and will give you more info...

Thanks guys.
yeah I'm not too worried at all, there was nothing else found and I will be having growth scans to keep an eye on things.

My pregnancies can never be 100% smooth. LOL

I think I started a thread about this a few months ago. We also found out at our twenty week scan that we had a SUA, but given that there were no other indicators of foetal abnormalities (I hate that phrase!), there really wasn't anything to worry about. We had a repeat scan at 22 weeks to check the heart and kidney function, and everything looks great.

Our OB originally told us that it was possible that she might be a little on the small side owing to the condition, but I'm 33 weeks now and apparently she's a bit of a giant! Though, I'm a bit skeptical about fundal height and third trimester growth scans as a reliable indicator of size. It's great that you aren't worrying about it - unless it appears in combination with something else, there's no need to, I think! I'm sure your baby will be perfect.

my DD had this with no problems presenting afterwards she is 14 now

Excellent thanks guys
I have a feeling this one will defy the 'small' stats and be a biggin like her bro. LOL

Just bumping in case there are some who haven't seen this

Hi,

I had my 19 week ultrasound today and although the baby looked fine in all areas, it only has a single umbilical artery.
Please keep posting, i'd love to hear stories about how things turned out for others with the same issue.
Did anyone else have this in conjucntion with low PAPP-A or after IVF with multiple egg retreival? Just wondering if there is any correlation?
Thanking you in advance for your response.
Also, I am new to this. Does anyone know how i can contact a member 'Bridee'? There is no 'email' button on her posts. I don't even know how to start a new thread/post!!
