Hi,thanks for writing..
Yes all the findings are normal.. Around 60% of babies will have finding of a loop around neck.. Unlkess it tightens, it wont affect the baby.. If in the process of delivery, the cord tightens, the fetal heart deceleration will be detected and might have to go for CS.. But most cases deliver spontaneously.. So dont worry,, Rest of measurement and weight is normal.. Hope I have answered your query.. good day..
