20 Weeks pregnant..ultrasound shows problems.
The ultrasound shows that the umbillical cord is not in the middle where it should be. I just want to know is there any special treatment or things that I need to do to help my baby grow. I know that normally you are not suppose to sleep on your back, but now since the umbillical cord is not centered do I sleep on my back? Are there more foods that I need to eat to ensure the nutrients are being given to my baby?
Okay, if you do have Vasa Previa then special measures need to be taken in labor and delivery. Most likely you'll need a c-section. I have a friend whose first pregnancy was at risk because of Vasa Previa but I'm a little fuzzy on the details. I can give you her information so you can speak with her. Let me know.
If it is not Vasa Previa, did they name the condition?

The cord is suppose tobe in the center of te placenta. but occasionly it forms somewhere else in the placenta. it is extremely rare that this happens.
Im sorry, im confused and mayb a little duhhh right now, but can someone tell me where the cord is suppose to be? does it change as time goes on, or is it suppose to stay in one place
I would still do everything the same, unless your dr. tells you to do different...
