Brief Answer:
Not problematic till delivery

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Single loop of cord around fetal neck is not problematic during antenatal period.
However, during delivery, this loop can lead to difficulty in delivery of the baby and hence the chances of caesarean section are increased.
There is nothing to worry about it till delivery.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
