Is it serious if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and the morning sickness is also very severe. Is the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck severely?

Doctor's answer:

It should be normal. The umbilical cord may wrap around the baby's neck while the baby is moving inside the womb. As long as it happens within 2 weeks, there is no problem. However, if it exceeds 2 weeks, it may lead to the baby suffocating during delivery. As you approach your due date or after you are admitted to the hospital, the hospital will conduct another check-up to determine whether a natural birth or a cesarean section is appropriate.
Hello, this situation warrants vigilance for the possibility of threatened miscarriage. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up and, if necessary, take measures to preserve the pregnancy. Maintain a healthy diet and good hygiene habits, and follow up regularly.
