When a baby is formed in the uterus, NOTHING can be done to it. By the data given by you, perhaps a sonography has revealed that of the 2 arteries and veins in the umbilical cord, only 1 artery is seen. While most of the times such a anomaly is NOT harmful, there are times when it may be associated with kidney and other anomalies, so se which scan is done for you. If anomaly scan is NOT done do it followed by quadruple marker test and this will give a good information about presence of any anomalies.
