Is it dangerous if the umbilical cord is wrapped three times around the baby's neck?

Whether it is dangerous for the fetal umbilical cord to wrap three times around the neck depends on whether the umbilical cord is loose or tight around the neck. If the umbilical cord is wrapped loosely, there is a big danger; if the umbilical cord is wrapped tightly, it may affect the fetal oxygen supply and make breathing difficult. However, most cases of the fetal umbilical cord wrapping around the neck are not very dangerous. Pregnant mothers need to relax and have regular check-ups.

The correct way to deal with the fetal umbilical cord wrapping three times around the neck:

1. Pay special attention to fetal movements in the third trimester of pregnancy. If the fetus moves too frequently, try to comfort the fetus to avoid aggravating the fetal umbilical cord wrapping around the neck; if the fetus does not move for a long time, try to wake up the fetus, such as gently patting the belly, listening to music, etc. If it does not help, seek medical treatment in time. No less than 3-5 times within one hour, no less than 20 times within 12 hours.

2. Carry out ultrasound examination carefully. It has been confirmed that the fetal umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck. During the examination, the doctor needs to check carefully to check how many times the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck and whether it is very tight.

3. Prenatal examination can check whether the amniotic fluid is sufficient and whether the fetus is abnormal.

4. Pregnant mothers should adjust their mentality. In most cases, the umbilical cord of the fetus is not too tight around the neck. If it is just straddling the neck, the fetus may be wrapped around the neck. Therefore, pregnant mothers should relax their mind. Otherwise, the excessive anxiety of the pregnant mother will cause the fetus to wrap around the neck more seriously.

5. Don’t blindly ask for a caesarean section just because the fetal umbilical cord has been wrapped around the baby’s neck for three weeks. You should listen to the doctor’s advice.

Therefore, pregnant mothers should not think about how to wrap it out. It may be counterproductive and make the fetal umbilical cord wrap around the neck more serious. Pregnant mothers should adjust their mentality at this time, do regular check-ups, and follow the doctor's advice. When the fetus is full term, they should follow the doctor's advice and consider choosing a caesarean section.
