Can a baby be delivered vaginally if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck once?

Patient's question:

[All symptoms: The baby is about to be born Onset time and cause: Last menstrual period was on November 15, 2009, but the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck once Treatment situation: Usually go to the hospital for prenatal check-ups, said it is normal Help needed: 1 Can the umbilical cord be wrapped around the neck once and still have a natural birth? 2 The elders say that a natural birth is better, but I don't know if it can be done; What are the differences between a natural birth and a cesarean section?

Doctor's answer:

[Condition Analysis: Hello, your due date is August 22nd. Opinion Suggestions: 1. Uterine cord neck once is not a indication for cesarean section. If your pelvis allows, you can still have a vaginal delivery. Before labor, the doctor will give you a comprehensive judgment. 2. Vaginal delivery is good for the child, because the fetus passes through the vaginal compression, some amniotic fluid can be squeezed out of the lungs. However, there is no such effect in cesarean section, and vaginal delivery recovers faster. As long as your body allows, it is still recommended that you have a vaginal delivery. Wish your baby healthy growth.]
