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.
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.
