Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

I have gone through your query and would like to offer some information.

As the fetus moves in the uterus it sometimes entangles itself in the loops of the umbilical cord. This is very common when the fetus is small. This is often seen as a loop of cord around the neck.

Usually, this loop will get cleared as the fetus swims in the amniotic fluid. Occasionally, it persists. If there is a persistent loop of cord at term, this can cause delay in the process of natural labor if the baby is big, or it can cause fetal distress, though these are not likely everytime. Hence monitoring is necessary.

A single loop of cord is most often asymptomatic and noticed at birth. However, when there is a double loop, it can cause symptoms in the majority of cases.

In the current scenario, since she is only 33 weeks, you can wait and see what happens. Monitoring and timely intervention are advised.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

regards,
Shanti.V.
