A member asked:

Is there a connection between a two vessel cord and a placental abruption in pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Nikolaos Zacharias answered

Specializes in Maternal-Fetal Medicine

No.: Two-vessel cord or single umbilical artery is not uncommon - 1-2% of all pregnancies have it. Abruption of the placenta is more rare (0.4-1%) and has not been associated with single umbilical artery.
