2 vessel cord and worried

baby silveira - 08:55pm Jun 9, 2009 EST

I have read so many horror stories about this. We found out at our 20 week apt. our baby boy had a 2 vessel cord. We have seen a specialist to confirm and they say everything else is perfect, the worst case scenerio is to deliver early but at 21w & 4d he was 15 oz. and perfect heart rate, etc.

Is there anything I can do while pregnant to ensure he is okay? Anyone else going thru this?

I agree with Ellen, Kathryn sure knows what she is doing, so I would take her advice.

Keep us updated and keep baking that baby!

Welcome to Share and congratulations on your pregnancy. I am not familiar with two vessel cord, but I am so sorry that the possibility is causing you to fret. Please take good care of yourself and the baby. Keep us posted!

Love, Kelly

Hi. You should not worry but put your trust and faith into God. A two vessel cord is one of the many things that my daughter had. The doctors weren't too concerned about it, just about how much oxygen the baby got. My little girl had perfect heart rate and growth despite everything she was presented with. God works in miracles. And I have one of them for a daughter. As long as your baby is growing and has a healthy heart beat you have nothing to worry about. Just take care of yourself and get plenty of rest.
