Cord
Has anyone else dealt with a short umbilical cord? What effects could it have on the baby?!
My first son had a short cord and I had to have an emergency c-section because when I started to push it was causing the baby distress. Everything turned out just fine, I'm due in September with my second son and they say everything looks fine and if all goes as planned I should be able to deliver naturally
No. But my umbilical cord goes in to the placenta in the wrong spot. I now have to get monthly extensive ultrasounds. As in every month we basically have the anatomy ultrasound. I now get to find a sitter for my 1 year old for every appointment.
