thanks for that

not worried about bubba coming early as im due christmass day.

thats pretty much what my dr said, all appeared ok in kidneys from the scan and dtaes and measurments are good so thats all good.

My DD2 also had this but also had low Papp-a which can cause small babies and prematurity. DD was born at 37wks because scans said she had stopped growing. Hard to know whether it was the cord or the low papp-a that caused it and it is even debateable whether the scan was accurate as she was bigger (thankfully) than the scan predicted) - she was 2.4kg.

As already mentioned you will have a follow up renal/kidney scan but all should be ok.

With DS we had a two vessel cord and it did contribute to him being small, but we also had problems with his heart and the placenta shutting down and reversal of flow along the umbilical cord.

The best thing we did with this preg was to get on Asprin straight away. I couldn't with DS as I was already experiencing threatened pre-term labor but now I am on 100mg of Asprin a day and the flow along this baby's cord is great!

I would ask your Dr about getting on Asprin to offset any flow issues that you might have with just two vessels.

Hope that made sense - been nesting all day and i am a bit fuzzy now!

thanx for the info RM.

i think my dr is going to wait till next scan to see how its all going, will ask him at next visit in 3 weeks and see what he says.
