Hi girls,
Went for my 20 week scan today and baby looked great. Transverse position but measuring right on time. I thought everything was good until the tech said "the doctor will be in to scan you"
My heart sank.
Immediately my joy of being told I was having a little girl was overshadowed by anxiety and fear.
The doctor tried explaining to me about SUA and what it means . The umbilical cord normally has 3 vessles but my baby girls has two, only one artery. Usually this is a "marker" for other problems or defects but baby showed no sign of anything wrong and my integrated screening blood work came back negative and real low risk for any chromosomal defects. The doctor stated it was an isolated case and not related to anything else.
I left with so many questions and of course I came home and googled. That can be a good and bad thing.
Do you have any experience with this issue ? Some help/support is much needed!
Thanks
