Just had my 20w scan and everything looked tickety-boo, except the scan technician noticed that the umbilical chord only has 2 vessels instead of 3. Apparently 1% of pregnancies have this, and it often isn't noticed until the baby is born, but it can lead to organ and overall development issues. Scan tech said all the organs look perfect and I'm currently measuring bang on for dates, but I need to have another scan at the hospital gynae clinic.
Anyone else had this or heard of it? What was the outcome? I'm trying not to worry but it's difficult!
