Re: [ozmidwifery] two vessel cords

[cath nolan]

this can be an indicator of renal anomalies in a small percentage of babies . It is worth a scan i believe. I have worked in a neonatal unit and do remember the babies affected. This must always be balanced with the fact that there are plenty of babies that have no problems apparrent.   Cath   - Original Message ----- From: Kylie Carberry To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 2:19 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] two vessel cords Hi everyone, I have a pregnant friend with a two vessel cord and wondered if anyone had some info on what this may mean.  I had it myself and was told the baby would need a renal scan at one week old to check for renal anomolies.  Indeed, she does have urinary reflux, but I know that a two vessel cord does not necessarily mean renal problems.  I know that this was brought up a little while back but I have lost track of the info Kind regards   Kylie Carberry Freelance Journalist p: +61242970115 m: +612418220638 f: +61242970747 -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
