i am having the same thing... umbrical cord has 2 arteries and 1 vein.. vein supplies oxygenated food to baby in womb and arteries carry away deoxygenated one... very few expecting mothers have only 1 artery specially who have twins in womb... but others can also have 1 artery... this can lead to foetal defects which can be seen in 3D scan like if any defect is there in any body part... next it can lead to have defect in kidneys or even can lead to have defect in heart like hole in heart... for this my gynac suggested me to have foetal echo test... n third thing that can happen is slow growth of baby in womb... finally baby is fit and fine this can be checked only after the birth... <br>
so dont worry just get checked and get all tests done...
