Hi, may I ani had an ultra sound yesterday i am 19 weeks pregnant. they found a couple little problems and i was wondering if you could inform me about them a little more the first is they found a membrane attatched to each side of the placenta and said its something they will monitor becasue the baby could get an arm intertwined in it and the baby could loose circulation. What is this called? and the other they found a blood vessel at the bottom of my cervix does this mean i will have to get a c-section?swer your healt
His have gone through your description. The description saying membrane attached with placenta with possibility of loss of blood supply to intertwined part signifies it is amniotic band.it is fibrous band with in amniotic cavity.sometimes if it passes through baby parts like intertwining it cuts that part.It's important to monitor baby.  A blood vessel at bottom of cervix may be filamentous placenta .it bleeds heavy and causes fetal blood loss if normal delivery is allowed.it is best to go for Caesarion section as due to both factors like amniotic membrane and filamentous placenta.
