A member asked:

Im 27 weeks pregnant and the ultrasound shows that my baby had 3x cord coil on her neck. will it be removed eventually? am i gonna deliver normally?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May need CS: The wrapping is thought to occur primarily at the end of the first trimester when the baby has more fluid compared to size & activity includes more flipping around. As they go further there is less room for new wraps or to undo those present. I've seen up to 5 in a normal kid but delivery had to be cs.The wraps shorten the cord & decrease the chance of normal descent in labor.
