Single Umbilical Artery or Two-Vessel Cord - Any Experiences?

[Tobily]

I had a two vessel cord and I'm healthy.

It can be an indication of heart or kidney issues but more often than not, babes will be normal and healthy just like me.

Try not to worry in the meantime, I know it's hard though. All the best.

Thank you for that! I feel as though that might be the case with our baby, too, but it helps to hear other people's stories.

a friend of mine is pregnant at the moment and she has the two vessel umbilical cord. they told her not to worry and that one thing that could happen is the baby will be a little on the small side.

I had one when pregnant with DD. She is perfectly healthy. It also did not affect her weight as she was born over 9lb.

DD1 had a two vessel cord.

Ultrasound two days post birth to check size and shape of her kidneys confirmed all was well. As for her size 3.825 kg.
