Sorry to submit a question to you all but I'm struggling to find a place to ask this question. My sister-in-law is 38 years old. She is starting her 5 month of pregnancy and has just been informed (through an amnio) that she has a single umbilical artery that is now feeding her unborn child. In addition she was told that they found 2 markers and chromosome 13 and 21. Excuse my terminology. I have no medical background whatsoever. Anyway, she's struggling on trying to decide if she should have this baby. Her OBGYN has not gotten into any details with her and describe to her any seriousness this could be. What are the potential birth defects or proven baby's that have been born with only being fed through a single umbilical artery. And have some babies survived this without any problems? If you could respond asap that would be great!! She only has until the beginning of next week to decide if she should continue on with her pregnancy. Thanks so much in advance. Deb Mungillo
