Is A Single Loop Of Cord Anterior To The Fetal Neck Normal?
Question: Starting of my 8th month of pregnancy in Antenatal Scan, found Single loop of cord noted anterior to fetal neck forming incomplete loop. Is it XXXXXXX of danger or not?. Is this loop is a indication of surgeon or still normal delivery is possible.It is second delivery but first delivery was normal.
Brief Answer:
No danger, normal delivery possible
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Single loop of cord anterior to the fetal neck is not dangerous as it poses no problem for the baby during delivery and there is no problem in vaginal delivery.
If the loop of cord is around the fetal neck, then it can cause difficult vaginal delivery and can be an indication for caesarean section.
I suggest you not to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Wishing you good health.
