Single Umbilical Artery

I'm 39 years old and expecting my 3rd child. I'm in the 3rd day of my 21st week of pregnancy. A couple of days ago I had a level II ultrasound because I refused all other screening tests for abnormalities. The perinatalogist reported that I'm having a boy and that everything looked normal with the exception of the umbilical cord vessels. My baby has only one artery instead of two. He really was too informative as to the prenatal management of this condition. I'm scheduled for another ultrasound in 5 weeks and a echo for the baby's heart in 6 weeks, although his heart looked normal at the time of the ultrasound. I would like to know how to find more information on this condition and how my prenatal care should change given this finding. Where and how do I find a doctor who specializes in high risk pregnancies of this kind?
