Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Loop of cord around the fetal neck can be given a trial for vaginal delivery, however close monitoring during the Labour is required.
If there is any emergency like fetal distress or non progress of labour, then the emergency caesarean section can be done.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
