Patient's question:
The fetus does not match the gestational age, with one loop of the umbilical cord around the neck. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
According to the ultrasound results, there are no abnormal growth and development conditions in the fetus. In your case, the widening of the lateral ventricles by less than 1 cm can gradually disappear with the growth and development of the brain. Regular follow-up examinations are sufficient. Whether the fetus is one week smaller than the gestational age depends on how often you usually experience delayed menstruation. If this is a common occurrence, it may be due to delayed menopause and a later delivery time, which is normal. Umbilical cord and breech position are both very common conditions and pose no problems; many can resolve naturally. In addition to the four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a cheerful mood in daily life.
