Umbilical cord entanglement around the neck is a common phenomenon. Some fetuses have a relatively small development but the umbilical cord is long. If there is a lot of amniotic fluid in the uterus, it is easy to cause entanglement around the neck. This has attracted the attention of pregnant women. Once there are any changes in the fetus, pregnant women are worried that it will affect their health. So, what should be done if the fetal umbilical cord entanglement around the neck for one week?
When the fetal umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for a week, pregnant women don't need to be too nervous. This is not a serious situation, and the fetus is constantly moving. Through later activities, it may come out on its own. As long as the umbilical cord is not pulled too much and the blood flow of the umbilical cord is not compressed, there is generally no major problem.
In order to prevent the umbilical cord from being tightly wrapped around multiple times, pregnant women should regularly undergo prenatal check ups and monitor the condition of the fetus through fetal heart rate monitoring. If the fetal movement is too frequent, they should be alert to the possibility of the umbilical cord being too tightly wrapped around the neck. Sleeping on the left side can reduce the pressure of the uterus on organs, increase the blood flow to the placenta, and avoid affecting the blood and oxygen supply to the fetus. Pregnant women should also reduce stimulation to the uterus and it is best not to engage in strenuous exercise.
Pregnant women can engage in appropriate activities, such as walking, gymnastics, etc. It is best to choose some gentle and soothing ones, which are beneficial to the body. If the umbilical cord wraps around the neck frequently during delivery, a cesarean section should be taken in a timely manner for delivery.
