I am 28 years old and 21 weeks pregnant with my second child. My first pregnancy was unremarkable. With this pregnancy, I have experienced multiple complications. Initially, I had early bleeding, possible limited amniotic fluid and the sac size was not commensurate with the size of the baby. I was told that I would most likely miscarry through about week 13. The heartbeat
has remained strong throughout. I had neucal transleucency testing (to rule out anything--no known genetic history of defects) with results indicating a need for CVS. The CVS was performed around 14 weeks with results indicating no detected abnormalities other than the presence of placenta
previa. With ultrasound around 16 weeks, the amniotic fluid was measured within normal limits and sizes were measuring right on with week. At 19 weeks, I had severe bleeding and was found to have a subchorionic hemorrhage
previa and all anatomical structures were presented and reportedly within normal ranges for size and development. The issue today, however, was detection of a double vessel umbilical
My question is with the CVS testing already ruling out chromosomal abnormalities and a good report antomically at todays ultrasound--is there still good probability of having a healthy, unaffected child?? The radiologist spoke with me and did not seem very concerned. He assured me that I will be monitored for growth. Looking online though, I can't help but read of the poor prognosis associated with this condition.
That's pretty scary stuff! I've heard of women giving birth to healthy infants, with only a double vessel cord. Monitoring you closely is all they can do. Your baby sounds like a miracle!!! And one to cherish dearly. Good luck!
