Hi
Congratulations on being pregnant.
You have nothing to be frightened about. Many babies have umbilical cord around the neck. It is not going to strangle your baby even if it is tight since babies do not breathe inside the womb. They get their oxygen through the placenta. So please relax and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

Hope I have answered your query satisfactorily.
