worried/cord coil

Everything you need to know about nuchal chord Medically reviewed by Debra Rose Wilson, Ph.D., MSN, R.N., IBCLC, AHN-BC, CHT on October 20, 2017 — Written by Lana Barhum A nuchal cord occurs when the umbilical cord wraps around the fetal neck completely or for 360 degrees. Nuchal cords are common during pregnancy with incidences recorded at around 12 percent at 24–26 weeks, reaching 37 percent at full term. When an umbilical cord becomes wrapped around the neck, the loop is referred to as the nuchal cord. The term “nuchal” relates to the nape or back of the neck. Fast facts on nuchal chord: The umbilical cord carries nutrients and oxygen to the fetus in the mother’s womb. A nuchal cord might interrupt blow flow, oxygen, and nutrients to the fetus and cause complications. Fortunately, most nuchal cords will resolve before delivery. If there is concern about the cord’s enlargement, a baby may be delivered by cesarean. Even in cases where they do not resolve, the potential for problems is low. Causes The main cause of a nuchal cord is excessive fetal movement. Other medical reasons why cords may move around the neck of a fetus or may result in loose knots include: an abnormally long umbilical cord a weak cord structure excessive amniotic fluid having twins or multiples One study reported in The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India found entanglement from longer umbilical cords increased the chances of complications. It is also possible a nuchal cord is the result of a random event with no explanation. What are the risks to mother and baby? Nuchal cords are not thought to pose many risks for mother or child with research studies continuing to back this theory. A nuchal cord may only pose health risks in rare cases. A doctor is likely to monitor a baby during its delivery if they have noticed a nuchal cord in routine ultrasound imaging of the mother’s pregnancy.

Cordcoil din po ako naka 2 ultrasound ako may pagitan na 2 weeks tinignan muna kase namin kung iikot pa si baby pero di na umikot. Inisched na ko ng CS sa Feb 27, sinabi naman ng ob ko na kung maglabor ako bago mag feb 27 itry ko daw magpa normal kaso ang problema wala kaseng fetal monitoring dun sa ospital na pinupuntahan ko at may possibility din daw na habang naglalabor ako ay masakal si baby pero ngayon 2cm na ako. Pag di ako maglabor bago mag feb 27, papa CS na talaga ako. Takot ako ma CS pero may priority ko kaligtasan ni baby ayaw ko makipagsapalaran. Nagpapray lang ako kung anong papahintulutan ni god kung CS ba o normal 😊

Nung 32weeks preggy ako momsh yung cord ng baby ko is nakapatong lang may tendency na paglaruan niya at matali ng baby ko mismo sa leeg niya. So my Ob advice me na kausapin si baby ko. Ginawa ko naman lalo na nakaposisyon na si baby. Then nagpapatugtog din ako ng mga mozart song hoping na hindi mapalupot ni baby yung cord sa leeg niya. Pero nung nasa 36weeks na ako biglang nag fatal distress si baby meaning nagkukulangan na siya ng oxygen sa loob so wala kaming choice kaya emergency cs ako. Dapat kasi mailabas si baby within 20mins kung hindi mawawala siya samin. Sa awa ng Diyos safe ang baby ko. She's turning 4months now.

hi mommy. nung ganyang weeks din yung baby ko nakacord coil din sya sabi sa akin baka daw ma cs pag ganoon pero nung sinabi ko naman sa paanakan chill lang sila.. kung medyo maliit pa ang baby malikot talaga kaya madalas magka cord coil pero natatanggal din naman naturally at madami nanganganak ng normal kahit may cord coil.. yung may knot ata or multiple cord coil yung medyo delikado.. baby ko po cord coil din pero normal naman pero mas maganda pa din sunod ka sa advice ng ob mo

Hi sis ganyan din po saken cord coil ang baby ko pero nakapulupot po mismo ang cord sa leeg niya, tinry po namin inormal sabe ng OB ko pero baka 50/50 daw ang baby ko baka patay daw paglabas kaya, pina emergency CS ako. Thank god Success ang paglabas niya hehe maliit lang kase siya 2.8kilos lang halos kaya siguro napulupot. Ipa monitor mo sa OB mo sis yung baby mo, pag hindi 50/50 ics mo nalang, mahirap na. Yun lang 😊

Hi po. Same po tyo ng case.. nkaSched npo ako for CS. Ayaw na po paabutin ni OB sa due ko. Pero in case dw magLabor ako before sched, susubukan dw nmin. Kaya lng taas pa rn po ni baby at 38weeks.. bka rw po dhil sa cord coil nya. Alam naman po ni OB mo ang best pra sa inyo ni baby. Follow nlang po kung anu advise nya.

Hi mami cord coil yung baby bale 3ng pulupot pero nainormal ko. Sabi nung midwife saken cs dw ako pero nagpunta ko sa OB pwede dw inormal kaya nainormal ko. Tantyahin mo rin po sarili mo kung kaya mo. And always pray..

Sis basta lagi molang bantayam bawat movement ni baby since cordcoil siya may mga incidence ng ganyan and yung iba naman nakakapag normal yun lang mas madami ang cs dahil mas gusto nila ng sigurado kesa tumaya.

Same saakin mommy. 37 weeks na din ako and cord coil din si baby. Pero nag ask ako sa ob ko kung pwede ma normal delivery, pwede naman daw kasi hindi naman daw ganon kahigpit sa leeg ni baby. 😊

Yes, possible. Cord coil pala si baby ko nun. Normal delivery ako, since di naman gaano malaki si baby kaya hindi naging problem. It all depends sa situation. I gave birth at 38 weeks, 2.9kg.
