What should I do if I am 20 weeks pregnant and the umbilical cord is found to be wrapped around the neck once?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The umbilical cord around the neck is caused by the fetus turning inside the uterus, with the umbilical cord being too long and wrapping around the baby's neck. It generally has no effect on the fetus, so there is no need to worry. Umbilical cord around the neck is relatively common.
