What is the loop of cord apearing on the neck of the baby , tel me what are the risk in this case.?

Answer 1

That's the umbilical cord, if I'm reading your question correctly. It's the lifeblood of the baby. If the cord gets pinched too tightly (typically during a contraction) or wrapped too tightly around the neck, it could kill the baby or cause cerebral palsy and other permanent brain damage, but this doesn't happen very often.

Oftentimes, if doctors are aware of the cord being wrapped around the neck before the baby is born, they'll opt for a c-section for the safety of the baby. But many times they aren't aware of the situation until the head is delivered.
