The umbilical cord around the neck is very common, accounting for about 1/3 of all pregnant women. The umbilical cord around the neck is not a caesarean section pointer, the vast majority can be natural birth. Of course, in the process of natural birth, because there is umbilical cord around the neck, the fetal head will pull the umbilical cord when falling. This fetal heart change is transient, after changing the position, oxygen will quickly improve, no problem. If it persists, consider the possibility of intrauterine hypoxia, which may require timely termination of pregnancy, conversion to caesarean section, or even forceps delivery. However, this is rare. If the umbilical cord is found around the neck, special attention must be paid during labor.
