I have been told I have only one artery in my umbilical cord instead of the mormal two. How may this affect my baby? I'm five months pregnant. The baby appears to be thriving.

The doc said it could be a chromosomal abnormality or for what ever reason one of the veins was there but it didn't thrive. He said the most common side effect of this is a lower birth weight. The chances are so slim that it is chromosomal that they don't justify the risk of having an amnio. So breath easy and have a healthy baby.
