Can you have a normal labor if the umbilical cord is wrapped around your neck for two weeks?

Two weeks of umbilical cord wrapped around the neck can lead to a normal delivery and the chances of success are higher. Therefore pregnant women who find that the umbilical cord of the fetus has been wrapped around the neck for two weeks and are in good health should actively try for a normal delivery. In a normal full-term baby, the length of the umbilical cord is about 30-70cm, which is long enough to reach the length of the umbilical cord during the descent of the fetus. As the number of umbilical cord loops increases, there may be a relative decrease in the free length, but in the vast majority of cases, two weeks of umbilical cord loops will result in a successful delivery. If the umbilical cord is too short or relatively short due to two weeks of umbilical cord bypass, it will often affect the first prelude descent during labor and delivery, leading to prolonged labor and aggravation of fetal hypoxia, which is a very dangerous phenomenon for both the mother and the baby. Umbilical cord around the neck is a typical phenomenon of the late fetal stage, pregnant women do not need to worry too much, pay attention to the fetal movement at any time. If there is a sudden increase or decrease in fetal movement, you should seek medical help in time.
