moms who had babies with a single vessel cord

At my 20wk visit in november my little has had only one artery instead of two in her umbilical cord.

My question is did you deliver normal or small size babies and if you had the baby early?

DD is on the small size and I am at 32wks and will be 33wks on saturday. I had my first biophysical on monday and now I have to go every week and along with doctor visits for the remaining lenght of my pregnancy.

The test showed I was possibly having contractions and the doctor made sure I wasn't going into preterm labor with 7wks left. Everything turned out fine in the end but I am still nervous.

Any experiences with this issue would be appreciated. Please send out some prays that I don't go really early and she weighs in good for my due date.

this happened to my cousin's baby.

He was born a week late...9.0 pounds.

My gf delivered her DD on time weighing almost 7lbs. Everything was fine, she just had to be monitored a little closer

This happened to my BF. She ended up having a very healthy sized baby (8lbs) only a few days earlier than her due date. The baby was in PERFECT health!
