What Are The Possibilities Of Having Normal Delivery With Cord Around Fetal Neck?

I am 38 week s pregnant and now ultrasound shows that my baby has 2× loops of cord around her neck. Is there any chance of normal veginal deliver y.it will be my second delivery. Or should I go for a c section. Is there any chance of loop to get out of the neck itself in some coming few days or weeks?

Hi
I have gone through your complaint.cord around the neck is not an absolute indication for caesariansection.if it is looseknot we can proceed to normal delivary by monitoring CTG.it assess fetal stress during labour.if no distress to baby nothing to worry.in presence of tight knot better to plan for caesarian section.
Thank you
