Is It Possible To Have A Normal Delivery Due To A Loose Loop Of Cord Around Fetus Neck?
hi i have ompleted my 36 week of pregnancy, in my last USG my doctor has found a loose loop of cord around the neck of baby and blood group is A negative, she has advised to go for c section delivery on completion of 37 week. I want to know is there any way out to have normal delivery.
Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. With a single loose loop of cord around the neck and with an average baby and a good pelvis, vaginal delivery can be tried with close monitoring of fetal heart. If there is a suspicion that the cord may impede progress of labor, or if the baby is big, it is better to go for an abdominal delivery either at the onset of labor or electively. If you are Rh negative, there is no need for immunization as the baby also is negative. If the baby is positive, or if you have Rh incompatibility, you will need immunization soon after delivery. Hope this helps.
