My daughter in law is 5 months preganant and today her Dr. told her he can only see 2 veins in her ambilical cord and their should be three. Is this reason to be concerns. What is there is only 2?
It is called a two vessel cord and it can be a sign of a heart problem.My son had a two vessel cord and they told me that they usually are related to either a heart condition or kidney problems.I had to go and have extensive tests done to determine whether or not my baby had any problems which only after birth they diagnosed him as healthy.I am not telling you this to worry you, just to let you know that it doesn't neccesarily mean there will be any problems.Fom what I hear only about 25 percent of the time it is linked to a more serious problem and even if she has tests done they really won't know anything for sure until the baby is born.So don't worry and more importantly tell her not to worry.The best thing she can do is relax and try not to think about until it becomes a problem.I wish her all the best of luck and pray that she gives birth to a healthy baby.
