What is unibical cord?

A unibical cord, also known as a single umbilical artery, is a condition where a fetus has only one umbilical artery instead of the usual two. This anomaly can occur in about 1% of pregnancies and is often associated with other congenital abnormalities. While many babies with a unibical cord can be born healthy, it may require closer monitoring during pregnancy to assess any potential complications.
