2 blood vessles in umbilical coed

[Guest guest]

Has anyone in this group had a child with only 2 blood vessles in the

umbilical cord? My son with verbal apraxia and coordinational aphasia

only had 2 blood vessels in his. The doctors didn't seem to think it

was a big deal, but I was just curious if this could be a possible link

to his speach problems. The nurses in the ICU told me they had never

seen a baby as small as smile. He was 5 weeks early, but smiled

the day he was born. I have since read this was an ealy indicator he

woud have speach problems. Has anyone else seem that? Sorry if these

questions seem silly, but the information I have found here has already

helped him. Since I have started him on borage oil and cod liver oil,

his disire to speak has increased a lot. A few new sounds, but no new

words yet. I am happy with the small steps he is making. He made no

steps for a very long time. He turns 5 today, and only says momma, oh,

wow, uh oh, and a few approximations. But small steps are still steps

in the right direction!
