Suggest Solution For "loose Loop Of Cord At The Neck" Seen On An Ultrasound
I am 27 years old and 33 weeks pregnant now. My 33 rd week ultrasound report tells that LOOSE LOOP OF CORD IS SEEN AT NAPE OF NECK. Please clarify any problem with this. Is there any chance to get relieve from the Cord loop in later days. Please advice me on this. Thanks.

Hello ma'am and welcome.
The loop of the cord of the placenta can with time return to a safe position, but it can also get wrapped around the neck of the fetus. This nuchal cord can cause complications preventing successful normal vaginal delivery, which is why careful monitoring of the cord position is required from here on. Mode of delivery may have to be decided last minute depending on the position of the cord.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
