all pregnant women who have a marginal cord insertion please read this: doctor told me I have a marginal cord insertion on my placenta in my 20th week ultrasound. The ultrasound showed that that the baby was too small and the doctor said they would have to monitor baby´s growth because it was measuring too small. So they called me for another ultrasound 1 month later (25th week). On my 25th week ultrasound appointment they checked for baby´s growth and measured everything again and my baby was measuring normal! baby went from too small to normal size/weight within 4 weeks! So now everything looks great. Im in my third trimester, still have the marginal cord insertion but the baby is doing good and measuring normal! So no need to stress out over this ladies! having this doesnt mean that your baby will not be healthy! please dont let google ruin your pregnancy joy!!!
Hey! Could you tell me the outcome of what happened with your pregnancy ? I'm a little anxious because I'm almost the same and I want to know how it went for you. Did you have to have a c-section?
You helped me all throughout nursing school. I am now 20 weeks pregnant was just told I have marginal cord insertion. I too started reading everything on google and it is terrifying. I am choosing to put it in God’s hands, your video helped to calm me as well. Thank you.
Just found out I have MCI today and I am 21 weeks. Thanks for the video. I did googled it and most article says that the chance for MCI to have negative effect on baby is small. So I will keep positive and hope for the best. And best luck for all woman who are pregnant during this hard time.
I have marginal cord insertion, my OBGYN told me at 20weeks. I was very tariffed. I came to this website and it gave me a peace of mind reading all the comments. Now that I’m almost 38weeks, my baby is growing well and weighed 7lbs at 37 weeks. So please DO Not be scared. With God is will everything is going to be okey. Hope this will give someone peace of mind. Good Luck!!!!
My wife and I found out about this at our 20 week ultrasound today! First thing I did was get on google, BIG MISTAKE! It made my anxiety and stress rise even though her doctor said not to worry! Love this info you shared! Thank You!
I was found with marginal cord insertion at 16 weeks did some research googling i was scared to death i am not alone this video makes me feel so much better thank yu so much
Thank you for this video! I was freaking out just a little. I found out at 20 week ultrasound, this is baby #5 and I’ve never experienced anything like this or any complications. Even though doctor says baby is doing well, I was still a little worried. I’m glad I’m not alone and to know your baby was healthy is comforting. Thank you for sharing your experience
We just had our 20 week Anatomy scan and was diagnosed with Marginal Cord. Baby is already 1lb and in the 97th percentile for growth measuring at 22 weeks. We are both very tall but was told to see a high risk doctor because the marginal. I will keep everyone updated in 4 weeks.
Hey Sarah! I loved this video and I’m so happy you and your baby was healthy! My son had marginal cord insertion, and my OB said it was nothing to worried about but to get routine growth ultrasound. Unfortunately he ended up having IUGR and was induced at 38 weeks at 5lb 1oz :) he’s a happy healthy boy now!
I had my 20-week ultrasound in February, during which doctors found a possible case of marginal placental cord insertion. As this is my first pregnancy at age 27, I am unsure of what to expect. Today, at 28 weeks, I visited a doctor who confirmed that the baby's heart and belly measurements were good. However, I will need to undergo another ultrasound at 32 weeks, which is due in the next four weeks. This ultrasound will check the baby's growth, well-being, position, and confirm the cord insertion. As a first-time mom, I am hopeful that everything will go well and it will be a miracle. I wish all the mothers out there safe and healthy pregnancies. I am looking forward to the next scan and seeing what it has in store for me as I watch my baby grow despite some stress of googling.
When she states "the worst case is to go on google and research " .. Me: feeling guilty *can I hide somewhere lol?* im all panicking and can't even fall asleep.
I NEEDED THIS!! 💗 I just came from your other video talking about the extra lobe. I too have the Accessory Placenta & this cord situation going on so this brings me peace of mind that all went well for you!!! 😊
Just found this out at my anatomy scan as well couple weeks ago I had to go for a redo of the scan today and they confirmed the marginal cord insertion so far everything is looking great will keep updated I was already seeing a high risk doctor to begin with due to medical conditions of mine
Thank you for this video Nurse Sarah :) I was recently diagnosed with velamentous cord insertion, which is a little worse than marginal cord insertion as some of the blood vessels are not covered by wharton's jelly and the cord implants into the membranes of the placenta rather than the placenta itself. although this isnt completely the same, Google freaked me out even being a nurse myself. I am so thankful for this video, you have also helped me get through nursing school and I am just so thankful for you ❤
I had my 20 week ultrasound yesterday and was told I have this. I decided to Google it today and started just crying picturing the worst case scenarios. 😔
I just found out today that I have it. I'm measuring a week ahead though so I feel like that means the issue with the cord hasn't affected anything so far. I'm 20 weeks and will have a follow up ultrasound at 28 wks. Nice to read the comments of others dealing with the same issue.
@saren Oliver If you don't mind could you please tell me thr outcome of what happened with your pregnancy ? I'm in the same boat as you and im kind of worried :(
I actually had a velamentous cord insertion with my 2nd pregnancy and just found out I have a marginal cord insertion with this pregnancy (#4). I’m not really stressed about it since a velamentous cord insertion is supposed to be worse and I didn’t have any problems with it. In fact he has been my biggest baby so far. My babies just like cord problems I guess. We actually found a true knot in my 3rd babies cord after she was born, luckily it didn’t cause any problems either!
I've just been notified that I have it after my 23 week Ultrasound. My OB is going to schedule me for an U/S every 4 weeks and hopefully all goes well!! Reassuring I've heard read about more good stories than bad. But still a bit apprehensive about it being that I'm 43 yrs old and it's my first (and only) pregnancy.
I also found out at our 20 week ultrasound and have been an anxious mess. I don’t know if the choice was made due to covid restrictions but I will not have another ultrasound until I’m 32 weeks pregnant. I have been so frustrated by that decision and even more so after learning you had one every 4 weeks to monitor. I did advocate for more monitoring but was told a high risk doctor saw my 20 week ultrasound and didn’t recommend another one until 32 weeks. I am 28 weeks today and just messaged my OB asking for one sooner. Thanks for this video!
My dr said at 30 weeks he will monitor but I also have high blood pressure he didn’t seem to worried about the cord insertion. But I started looking it up online and started worrying
Ty I just found out at 25weeks because my 29 week scan got pushed out due to me having Covid I was freaking out but so far at 25 weeks baby is ok and is also breech hoping everything turns out well
How has everything been? I was told I have MCI and my baby is breech as well at 25 weeks on the 4 of feb. did your baby turn on its own? And we’re you able to deliver vaginally?
This video makes me feel so much better.. 20 week scan today, found out we are having a boy (have two boys one girl already) but have a low lying placenta and cord is attached to the bottom of the placenta 😞
This video eased my anxiety I found out I have this but my baby girl is growing good she’s actually two days ahead not sure what that means but I was super worried 😧 about this !
Just had my baby and they couldn’t detect it during my pregnancy but had to be induced because his heart rate was low sure enough he came out and they saw how his cord was placed this way and said that I’m was one of the reasons why he was getting low heart rate they didn’t even expect it because they told me he was a big baby and growing so well and he actually was only 6lbs one of my smallest baby’s and I have a feeling this was why eventho he was perfectly healthy i was happy they detected his heart rate when they did so you never know in pregnancy
Any idea as to why my OB would’ve withheld the fact that I have a MCI?! Found it in my records from my 20 week scan on (I’m 28 weeks now) and I JUST discovered it in my health records. I have a history of IUGR and now this baby is said to have it as well, why wouldn’t they have told me to educate me?
Thank you so much for this video! So helpful and feeling much better now. I just found out today at my 20w anatomical that I have marginal cord insertion and started panicking while googling this out. At today's ultrasound baby was measuring 296 grams and everything is on track but my doctor mentioned that it could affect baby's growth later on and he wants to do an ultrasound at 32 and 36 weeks :( not as often as yours just every 4 weeks which I would for sure love that and wouldn't mind at all. Was your baby born via c-section or vaginal. I was told by another doctor to get a c-section for sure at 37 weeks max. at 38 weeks, but definitely not wait after 40 weeks because baby could be compromised and possibly have a stillbirth, .
I'm pregnant w my first baby, due in 6 weeks & I have a marginal cord insertion. I'm hearing from my ob that if it doesn't go back to the center, I'll have to have a c section; but my doctor who gives me my ultrasounds told me it won't go back to the center but more than likely won't have to have a c section. Should I prepare myself for a cesarean? I'm so scared lol
Is it dangerous for marginal insertion cord to deliver baby vaginal?? I'm 38 weeks pregnant and totally terrified! My doctor said ' its not dangerous ' But still frightened.
Thank you! This is a relief...I just found out today that I have marginal cord insertion. Is there anything we can do in addition to support growth and nutrients to the baby?
I had a huge bleed at 11 weeks. Was told it was a subchorionic haematoma too. 22 weeks now with a low lying anterior placenta and marginal cord insertion.

I didn’t know I had MCI until my son was born. I delivered him at 38 weeks and he was on the smaller side at 5lb 13oz, but he’s totally healthy!

First comment
i found out today😢
❤✊
Has anyone had bleeding issues with marginal cord ?
I did at 10 weeks. They called it a subcorionic hemorrhage. The bleeding stopped and I'm 33 weeks right now.
@@alexadkins2109 I did at week 12, it is also subchorionic hemorrhage. There might be connections to the MCI.
I had a huge bleed at 11 weeks. Was told it was a subchorionic haematoma too. 22 weeks now with a low lying anterior placenta and marginal cord insertion.
were you able to have a vaginal birth?
