2 Cord Vessel

[ccw59]

Hello!! I just found out today that I was having another baby BOY!!! However, my doctor informed me that the umbilical cord was only 2 vessel!  She said that usually that means they might not have both kidneys, etc.  However, my little man had both kidneys & even urine in his bladder which means his kidneys are functioning properly!  She said at my next appt (Feb 2nd) they will do another sonogram to make sure everything is okay.  She said right now everything looks fine.  Well when I came back to work & searched the internet it acts like this is WAY more serious!  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I read it my book about this the other day and it said as long as the kidneys are both there and fuctioning there isnt a need to worry, like your doctor said they will probably monitor you a bit more. dont worry about it unless they give you a reason too.
and CONGRATS on the boy!!
