What Does "cord Loops Are Seen In Vicinity Of Fetal Neck" Indicate?

Hi,
I am 37 weeks now.This week i had a USG scan.Everything about the fetal is very normal and my health conditions also normal in the report.It is mentioned "Cord loops are seen in the vicinity of the fetal neck".I was shocked after seeing this.My doctor din put much stress on this.She is saying that "we can handle this".This is my first delivery and i don have much knowledge about this.Many of them are saying the cord will get loosened by the time of delivery. I am not happy with a C-section.What should i do for normal delivery???I will be more thankful to u if u advise me on this.

HI,
I understand your concern.
Cord loops near neck suggest possibility of cord loop around neck at time of delivery & this condition needs a careful vigilance & decision of LSCS in case of problem of tightening the loop around fetal head.Actually you can not do anything for normal delivery in such case.. every thing depends on the situation.
- In case the loop does not surround head.. normal delivery is possible.
- If the loop surrounding the cord is loose.. normal delivery can be still possible with care during delivery of fetal head.
- but if the loop is tightly fitting around neck while head is high in pelvis, doctor will advise fir LSCS( to help safe delivery/ avoid risk to the baby ). Please make it a point to agree with your doctor & co operate, for it's ultimately for your & your baby's betterment.
Thanks.
