Is it serious if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for 1 week?

The umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck for 1 week, which is usually not serious. The length of the umbilical cord, which is usually about 30-70 cm, is too long, and if the cord is too long, there is a risk that the cord will be wrapped around the baby when it appears to be active. There are 1, 2 and 3 weeks of umbilical cord encirclement. If the number of weeks of umbilical cord encirclement is more, the baby will have a relatively higher chance of risk. A 1-week cord bypass is relatively common and pregnant women are usually instructed to pay attention to fetal movements. It is necessary to count the fetal movements every day, which are usually 2-3 times per hour for 12 hours, and about 34 fetal movements are sufficient. In the presence of umbilical cord circumference, pregnant women are advised to have regular fetal heart monitoring and need to increase the frequency of review of fetal heart monitoring when the baby is moving differently. The fetal heartbeat changes need to be observed when the fetus is wrapped around the neck for 1 week, during the time of normal delivery. If there is no problem with the fetal heart, it is possible to deliver the baby smoothly.
