We had a fetal echocardiogram and additional growth ultrasounds. She was born vaginally full term and weighed 1 lb more than my first. I found some Drs had very dramatic stats and some literally said its no big deal, this puts you at no more risk. </p> <p> From what I understood if SUA is seen in isolation, no other abnormalities seen on ultrasound, then risks of any congenital defect, low birth weight, etc are very low. It's just that in some congenital defects, SUA is one of many growth problems that occur, so when you look at some studies percentages of major problems can look very high. But most of those are chromosomal abnormalities where multiple defects would be detected on ultrasound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-experience-2-vessel-cord-instead-of-3#post-2366067 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 11:44:17 +0000 momtimes3 2366067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yerpie what a wonderful story!! Thank you so much!! Minute i heard increase of stillbirth etc i was def freakin out.. But have had first round of steroid shots n will be at mfm every two weeks so im tryin to stay positive :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-experience-2-vessel-cord-instead-of-3#post-2365999 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 07:08:27 +0000 yerpie110 2365999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had SUA with my first. Outside of a ton of growth ultrasounds, two feta echocardiograms, and being evaluated by a pediatric cardiologist immediately upon birth (some of her fetal echo numbers came back sketchy), she was born full term at 7 lbs, 10 oz and has zero issues. She is now a happy and thriving almost three year old! I remember the stress and anxiety clearly though. Wishing you and your babies the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-experience-2-vessel-cord-instead-of-3#post-2365980 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 02:44:59 +0000 momtimes3 2365980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank u so much for the hopeful stories :) im hoping for the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-experience-2-vessel-cord-instead-of-3#post-2365548 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 07:45:13 +0000 futuremama 2365548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same story as Xfinity for the two I know who dealt with this. One went over a week past her due date and had a 10 lb baby boy! The other had a healthy baby girl via c section. Good luck. Hopefully the additional monitoring will provide reassurance instead of anxiety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-experience-2-vessel-cord-instead-of-3#post-2365481 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 00:57:18 +0000 xInfinity 2365481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend had it with her daughter. She had lots of growth ultrasounds after they found it but LO had no issues and was born full term. That little girl is about to turn 4 in January. Totally healthy and normal. Wishing you the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-experience-2-vessel-cord-instead-of-3#post-2364269 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 23:35:35 +0000 momtimes3 2364269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you! Yea they seem to be on top of it n will be planned csection..im hoping she gets to at least 3pds before has to come.. Shes about a pound n hes 1.11pds </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-experience-2-vessel-cord-instead-of-3#post-2364264 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 23:33:18 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2364264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you're going through this-my son, too, had SUA (Single Umbilical Artery). From what I recall, it's more frequently found in females and twins-so your daughter fits the bill in that regard (my singleton son was a bit of a head-scratcher for having it). We were lucky that it didn't seem to cause any issues with his growth in-utero. We did have a kind of rough delivery experience. It wasn't caused by the SUA, but I don't think it helped things, either (his heart rate kept dropping and there was a cord prolapse issue during the c-section I eventually had). Again, it could be coincidental, but you asked for info so I'm sharing my experience. It sounds like your doctors are on top of it, though, so hopefully you feel confident in your medical team. Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy and delivery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-experience-2-vessel-cord-instead-of-3#post-2364256 Thu, 19 Nov 2015 23:25:48 +0000 momtimes3 2364256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girl twin has this issue n is behind on her growth :( so worried...got steroid shot today.
