Co-incidentally came across an U/S report at work today with this finding. It stated that it was an anomaly found in approx 1% of pregnancies, occasionally associated with fetal abnormalities and that follow up should be offered if clinically indicated.
I have always been aware that U/S of the baby's kidneys was a usual recommendation, and that we are vigilant in observing establishment of urinary output.  I have seen many 2 vessel cords and as far as I have known, none which had any significance in otherwise healthy babies - I have seen 2 vessels in very abnormal babies in the past, so it was part of the picture, not the only factor.
