What to do if the umbilical cord wraps around the neck at 25 weeks of pregnancy1

  At 25 weeks of pregnancy, it is still a relatively small stage of pregnancy. At this time, the baby's size is not very large, so there is no need to be nervous if the umbilical cord wraps around the neck for one week. A 25 week old baby still has room for transformation in their mother's womb, and if they move in the opposite direction, they can move around. Pay attention to monitoring regularly, as long as the fetal movement is normal, there will generally be no abnormalities.

  Mom can adjust her sleeping position and try to sleep on the left side as much as possible. Do not habitually touch your belly in daily life, reduce stimulation on your baby, and your baby's activity level will not be too high. Because the mother does not know which direction the baby is rotating in the belly, if the direction of movement follows the direction around the neck, it will increase the degree of neck circumference, which is very dangerous for the baby.

  After checking and discovering that the baby has been wrapped around the neck for a week, the mother must maintain a good mood. Excessive anxiety can directly affect the baby's development. Therefore, it is important to first maintain a good mood, listen to the doctor's advice, regularly count fetal movements at home, and understand whether the baby is experiencing hypoxia. If the neck wrapping is still severe at 30 weeks, it needs to be taken seriously.
