Patient's question:
I am 29 weeks and 2 days pregnant with my first baby. Today, I had an ultrasound for a thorough examination, and it showed a U-shaped indentation on the fetus's neck. Other tests were fine. The doctor at the hospital said this is due to the umbilical cord wrapping around the neck. They advised me to sleep on my left side, as the baby might be able to turn it out on its own. However, I am still very worried.What should I do if there is a U-shaped indentation on the fetus's neck? What kind of help do I need: What does it mean to have a U-shaped indentation on the baby's neck?
Doctor's answer:
B careful examination, the baby's neck U-shaped indentation suggests the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck once. Currently, there is no way to straighten it out, only to observe fetal movements regularly and carefully.

Wish you health! The above is the advice on the question "What does it mean when the neck skin is seen as U-shaped indentation on B?", hope it helps you, wish you health!
