Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
If the umbilical cord is loosely around the neck, it does not affect the blood circulation of the umbilical cord and will not endanger the fetus. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of anything going wrong. If the umbilical cord is tightly wrapped around the neck, it can compress the umbilical blood vessels, leading to obstructed blood circulation or compression of the fetal jugular vein, causing ischemia and hypoxia in the fetal brain tissue, resulting in intrauterine distress, stillbirth, stillbirth, or neonatal asphyxia. This phenomenon often occurs during labor. When the fetal umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, the pregnant woman should pay attention to reducing vibrations and maintaining a left lateral sleeping position.
