Single Umbilical Artery advice

[Warbs20]

This is my first post and have been debating whether to post this or not. But has anyone else been diagnosed with SUA (single umbilical artery). Or previously had it / knew someone etc. After some positive stories etc. So no graphed wasn't concerned and was quite blasé about it. Bloods came back low risk and scan went fine. But I Googled (big mistake!).
I just have to go back for growth scan at 32wks but I havent been told anything else. I suppose I am worried due to my age (38) etc. TIA x

Hey. I had this with DS, now 3.5. I also had a colleague who had it, daughter now 4
No issues whatsoever. He was 7.6lb when he was born at 38+4
I was nearly 36 when he was born

My hospital weren't worried at all but I had extra growth scans as I also had GD and it was never mentioned again really.

I was told by the consultant that some hospitals don't even screen for it now as they don't worry. They think the 1 artery just compensates for the missing one.

Thanks. That's reassuring. My daughter was 10 days late andwas a whopper! So maybe growth scans will give me a bit of warning 😁

My 4 month baby had this and she was born 6lb13. I had extra growth scans but she was always measuring bang on average. I read that it's classed as just a variation of normal and you needn't worry if there are no other markers x

DS2 had this. I had a very thorough scan of his heart at around 20 weeks and regular growth scans. He was 10lbs 7oz!
