Patient's question:
Pregnant 31 weeks, ultrasound detected the baby's umbilical cord around the neck once. What should I pay attention to? Can this situation be delivered vaginally?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Umbilical cord is very common in obstetrics, which is related to the length of the umbilical cord and the activity of the fetus.Suggestions: If the umbilical cord is around the neck once, it does not affect a normal delivery. During the delivery process, the midwife will assist you in handling the issue with the umbilical cord. Moreover, as the fetus changes its activity inside the uterus, it may no longer be during delivery. Pay attention to fetal movement regularly. If it becomes too frequent or too slow, seek medical attention promptly to monitor the fetal heart rate.
