How to correct the umbilical cord around the neck for two weeks? What should I do if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for two weeks?

Women should go for regular perinatal checkups after they become pregnant. Today's B-ultrasound technology is becoming more and more advanced, with the advent of four-dimensional color ultrasound, which can clearly show the development of the fetus in the uterus. Some deformities can be discovered in time, reducing the birth of deformed babies. It is very common for the umbilical cord to be wrapped around the neck. If it stays around the neck for two weeks, the fetus's condition in the uterus should be monitored regularly to avoid fetal asphyxia.

What should I do if the umbilical cord is around the neck for two weeks?

1 When the mother knows this situation, you have to relax and learn to count fetal movements after returning home. Count the number of fetal movements within 1 hour every morning, noon and evening. Add up the number of fetal movements for 3 times and multiply by 4, which is the number of fetal movements in 12 hours. The fetus should move more than 10 times within 12 hours. If there are sudden, intense and massive fetal movements, go to the hospital for examination immediately.

Step 1

2 At the same time, if you find that the fetal movement is too little, you should also go to the hospital for examination. Regular prenatal examinations can help detect abnormal conditions such as too much or too little amniotic fluid, malposition of the fetus, etc. at an early stage; problems with the umbilical cord can also be determined through methods such as fetal heart monitoring and ultrasound examinations.

Step 2

3 Some babies may turn back on their own in the later stages. It is recommended that mothers do not move too frequently or touch their belly to stimulate them, so that they will move more. Sleeping on the left side will make the fetus quieter. The less it moves, the less chance of entanglement. It is recommended to sleep on the left side.

Step 3

4 Many mothers worry about whether they can give birth naturally after discovering this problem. The umbilical cord wrapped around the neck is quite common and does not affect delivery. However, if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for two weeks, it is necessary to judge whether a natural birth is possible before delivery based on the conditions of the fetus, pelvis, birth canal, cervical dilation, etc., but you must pay attention to changes in the fetal heart rate.

Note:

In most cases where the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for 1 to 2 weeks, the delivery is successful. During the delivery process, the doctor will use a fetal monitor to pay attention to whether the fetus has any abnormal conditions. If necessary, early treatment or cesarean section will be performed.
