Sezza, we were spoken to about that as well. Rommy had a two vessel umbilical cord (one artery) as well, and the growth restriction, and a very small and deteriorating placenta. He also had reversal of flow along the umbilical cord which really affected his growth later in the pregnancy - even with the pre-term labour we made it to 36 weeks!

We had an amnio with Rom as well but of course didnt test for the chrom issue that the cardiologist were worried about as we didnt find out about his heart until 20 weeks. Had to wait until birth to see if it was there. From memory there was a stronger correlation between boys-heart-chromosomes issues than for girls-heart-chromosomes.

Roman is fine chromosomally and has no brain impairment at all. He is bright and learning well now.
