2 vessel umbilical cord
I am 19 weeks preg. with twins and my doctor is concerned with my bay girls growth and says it is becasu eshe has a 2 vessel umbilical cord (normal is a 3 vessel)
I have no advice on this but wanted to wish you the best. If your Dr is not worried then maybe just keep doing what you are doing. good luck
Thanx Jules for responding I have been doing some research on line and it has it's pros and cons.
My doctor does not seem to be really up in arms about it so I guess I should not be either.
He has advised me to continue doing what I am doing which is eating and getting plenty of rest.

I read a story about a lady who was pregnant with twins and hers had the same issue as yours - 2 vessels instead of 3 but she carried her twins full term and they were born healthy babies. Get more advice from your doctor/specialist about this kind of thing for your own peace of mind.
Congratulations on twins. Good luck,
Julie
