Amniotic Band Syndrome Question...

Hi, I am 32 weeks pregnant and my baby girl was found to have a 6 mm CPC at 20 weeks. At 25 weeks (that was the longest 5 weeks of my life!) , the CPC was gone and she showed normal growth and development according to the perinatologist... so for the past 7 weeks, I have been feeling great and extremely happy and excited about the pregnancy.

However, researching and worrying about CPCs , I have started worrying about other things that I have stumbled across...I have since discovered a couple of disturbing facts on this web site and had 4 questions that I hope you can help me with...

1) When does the amniotic band syndrome usually develop in the fetus... Is it possible for it to happen after week 25???

2) How common are umbilical cord accidents resulting in stillbirth? Do they only happen in normal vaginal deliveries? (I would think the risk is greatly reduced if one has a C-Section)

3) DO doctors have an obligation to tell patients if they see a cleft lip or cleft palate? Is it possible that a perinatologist would not detect these deformities?

4) Is it normal for the fetus to stop "kicking" at around 31 weeks? I feel her "moving around" (and I see it) but not "kicking" hard like she used to...

Sorry for all the questions, I truly appreciate any and all answers!!!! :)
