A scare for nothing.......

At my 20 week ultrasound everything was looking great with our baby. The tech would go through everything, measure it and take pictures. The heart, the brain, the abdomen, the face, the origins, everything! She kept telling me everything was looking great and we were so excited!  Then she took a picture of something and started talking to me about vessels that were in the baby,  and that there were supposed to be 3 and mine only had 2???...... She seemed serious about it and we asked her what that meant? She told me that it means the baby isn't getting the nutrients that she needs and that it can effect growth. So much was going through my head and she told me that she was going to go talk to the Dr and see if he wanted to look at the baby or talk to me about anything. So she takes me out to the hall and gets my blood pressure and my weight and everything and tells me she'll be right back. At that point. I'm kinda panicking. All that a woman wants to hear about her pregnancy is that everything is perfect.  So then she comes back and starts talking to me about chromosomes and some shiz, but that the Dr didn't feel like he needed to talk to me or see me because the baby was looking perfect. So she said that they would see me for a 28 week ultrasound for a check up.  At this point I don't really know what to think. So for the last 5 weeks I've been an emotional wreck over this and obviously panicked like anyone else would be.  Yesterday I went in for a regular check up with my Dr.  He came in and listened to the heart beat and measured my growth, my uterus and some other things. He told me I was looking perfect and so was the baby.  Before he left, I basically asked him if he could explain this "abnormality" that was apparently happening in my pregnancy. He kinda shook his head and rolled his eyes. And was like "Well first of all I want to go see that ultrasound tech and bop her on the head for even saying anything to you! your umbilical cord can either have 2 or 3 vessels, is it better to have 3? sure, but its ok to have 2. Many women have 2 vessels and their babies are fine.  Like 35 to 40%!!!!! She didn't need to stress you out for 5 weeks over nothing! There was nothing telling anyone that there was anything "abnormal" about your baby."
Wow.  I was stunned, and very relieved. Being stressed out over this took years off my life....and my baby's.   So moral of the story.  My baby is perfect and that ultra sound technician is dumb.
