A. A single loop of the umbilical cord around the baby's neck, also known as nuchal cord, is a common occurrence in pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester. While it may sound concerning, it is usually not a cause for alarm. Most nuchal cords do not cause any issues and are detected during labor or delivery. However, in some cases, a nuchal cord can lead to complications such as restricted blood flow or oxygen to the baby. Your healthcare provider will closely monitor the situation during labor to ensure the baby is tolerating the cord loop well. If there are any signs of distress, they may intervene to safely address the situation.g

It is advisable to get yourself evaluated by a doctor and follow doctors advise properly.
