So, according to my OB/Gyn, I have SUA, or Single Umbilical Artery. Normally, there are two arteries and one vein in the umbilical cord (who knew?). I only have one artery. Not that uncommon. Often it's not even noticed until the baby is born and they look at the umbilical cord.
According to the Dr. since everything else looked fine in the ultrasound, there is nothing to worry about (sometimes this occurs along with heart or kidney problems, but the 20 month ultrasound should show that). They'll do another ultrasound at 32 weeks to make sure the baby is growing, as there is a tendency for lower weight births.
Meh, but they had that concern for N and he came out just short of 8lbs.
