My sister visited her ob gyn doc the doctor said that the umbilical cord is larger then normal.?

Question

she is 2 months pregnant with her first child. the doctor made it seem its not a big deal. but what does that mean, what effects it can have on the child? did anyone ever experience this or know somebody that did

Answer 1

I think that a longer cord just makes it easier to get tangled in for the baby.    

Answer 2

i wouldnt be to worried about it if the doctor doesnt, just know that the doctor knows that he has to watch for and keep an eye on it.
