Is it dangerous to have the umbilical cord around the neck for two weeks?

It is actually quite common for pregnant women to have the umbilical cord around the neck of the fetus. Many women will experience this situation during pregnancy. Generally speaking, most women are at a loss when faced with this kind of situation. They worry that their bodies will be harmed, and they are even more worried about the health of their babies. So, are there any risks if the fetal umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for two weeks? Let me tell you about it today.

1. Is there any risk if the fetal umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for two weeks?

Whether a natural birth can be chosen if the fetus's umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for half a month depends on many factors, such as whether the fetus's umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for half a month at the 30th and 35th weeks of pregnancy, whether the fetus's umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for half a month during delivery, and the length of the fetal umbilical cord. So, can you choose to give birth naturally if the fetus's umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for half a month? We need to talk about it based on the specific situation.

The umbilical cord is the key bridge connecting the fetus and the pregnant mother. The fetus can obtain oxygen and nutrients from the mother through the umbilical cord. If the fetus has the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck a few months before delivery, it depends on the condition of the fetus. Some fetuses will gradually change the situation of the cord wrapped around the neck, or the situation may no longer exist before delivery. Therefore, a prenatal check-up must be done before delivery. If the labor force, birth canal and fetus are normal and integrated with each other, you can choose a natural birth.

Whether you can choose to give birth naturally if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck of the fetus for half a month before delivery depends on the actual situation. If the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck loosely, it will not affect the umbilical cord blood circulation and will not seriously harm the fetus. As long as the umbilical cord is too tight, it will affect the blood of the umbilical cord. Most fetuses do not show any abnormalities. Therefore, there is no need to panic if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck. Under normal circumstances, you can choose to give birth naturally. However, if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the fetus' neck too tightly, it may cause intrauterine distress or even fetal death, stillbirth or neonatal asphyxia. Therefore, you must be careful when choosing between a natural birth or a cesarean section.

2. What should I do if the fetus's umbilical cord is around the neck?

1. Learn to count fetal movements and insist on counting fetal movements every day: If there is anything abnormal with the baby in the belly, the expectant mother will be informed by the changes in the baby's fetal movements. If the number of fetal movements is too many or too few, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately.

2. Regular prenatal check-ups: Since the baby is constantly moving in the mother's belly, his posture will change at any time. Through fetal heart rate monitoring or ultrasound examination, it can be determined whether the fetal umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck.
