I am 27 years, and 5 months carrying, recently I went through TIFFA - scans in 20 weeks, which show that there was a single umbilical artery. But baby parts have formed perfectly without any abnormalities in the scan. Now we are in an impression in future the baby will have any problems? Like heart or brain development. Please help us to understand on this.

In about 75% of these cases, the baby is entirely normal and healthy and the missing artery isn't missed at all. One artery can support a pregnancy and does not necessarily indicate problems. So hope for best. And not take stress.
