One artery in umbilical cord

That is another thing. They will monitor the cord flow etc to see if baby is getting enough as babies with 1 artery in their cord can sometimes be born on the smaller side. But my DD was over 9lb so it doesn't always affect them but just something to think about.

Just to add my god-daughter had one artery in her cord when she was born and she was fine. They monitored her kidneys for the first day or so to make sure all functioning and that was all. She also had a knot in her cord which was almost completely black but still all ok and she is a very energetic and smart little 1.5yo cookie.

It's considered a "soft marker" for other abnormalities so they'll usually do a really thorough scan to rule those out.
I only had one artery in my cord and I'm fine....physically anyway LOL!
