Patient's question:
Pregnant 31 weeks, did an ultrasound and found the baby's umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck once. What should I pay attention to? Can I have a natural birth in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Umbilical cord is very common in obstetrics, and it is related to the length of the umbilical cord and the activity of the fetus.Suggestions: If the umbilical cord is around the neck once, it does not affect a normal delivery. During the delivery process, the midwife will assist you in handling the issue of the umbilical cord. Moreover, as the fetus changes its activity inside the uterus, it may no longer be during delivery. Pay attention to fetal movements regularly. If they become too frequent or too slow, seek medical attention promptly to monitor the fetal heart rate.
