My Baby umbilical cord is Around Her Neck And I'M Having Real Bad Contractions What should I Do Im 38 Weeks And 2 days

[babyjake2014]

My son had the cord around his nevk twice. He was in nicu for a week but now he's 19 weeks and a lil chunk.  I'd call your doctor asap or go down a&e .... good luck though

Go to hospital!

Presuming you had an ultrasound recently that showed this? Cord is often around babies neck and often not an issue as it is long, and most often doesn't tighten. Some midwives /docs don't even release it over the head during deliveries anymore as they think the less handling the better for blood supply.  However, I would call your obstetrician right now and check if you should go to hospital or to get checked to see if you are in labour yet, as if you were to deliver and the cord is around baby's neck you want some experienced hands on deck (and I would want baby to be monitored during labour for any signs of distress).

How do u know I would like to know bc I'm terrified of that happening

[deannagrimsley]

I'm wondering the same. How do you know the cord is around the babies neck?

[shellyshelbert]

[DraevinMark]

How can you tell if the cord is around the babys neck?

Dont take a risk I lost my daughter at 41 weeks to a cord accident. Go to the hospital immediately x

[bsconcerned]

How do you know it's around her neck? I also suggest the hospital.  Good luck!

It would probably be quicker to go to the hospital and check into labor and delivery. There they can monitor you better, and if you need to deliver at least you're already at the hospital. I hope everything is fine.

[shanBBM]
