Does a 2 Vessel Umbillical Cord Signal Problems?
QUESTION
Dear Ms Ultrasound,
I am 23 weeks pregnant with my son and they just found out he has a 2 vessel rather than 3 vessel umbilical cord. We are worried but were told not to be too worried. My AFP results came back normal and he is measuring on target.Non-stress Test: Monitoring Your Baby's Well-Being
Due to special situations like high blood pressure, premature rupture of membranes, twins or triplets, your provider may decide to order a non-stress test (NST). An NST monitors a baby's health by showing his/her baseline heart rate and also any increases in the heart rate due to movement. It's an easy, painless, non-invasive test that allows your providers to monitor baby's well being in the womb.
