How do I live with this anxiety?

Question

I had a growth scan done today. He looked good, but his cord appears to be around his head- the tech said he’d go over it with me. 
Has anyone experienced this? It’s stressing me hella out. My OB didn’t say anything about it because he didn’t review the scan... only reviewed the numbers from the scan... he never physically looked at pictures. 😫 I should have pushed him for more answers about this.. FTM anxiety majorly!

Answer

Don’t stress momma! It’s actually VERY common for babies to have cords around their neck when their born surprisingly. It usually only gets concerning when the cord is wrapped multiple times. My now 5 year old came out with her cord wrapped around and the doc didn’t even bat an eye just simply stuck her hand under and pulled it off with no complications. Ask questions when you go next time but don’t stress yourself out

Answer

We just asked the dr this question about cord being wrapped around. He said so many babys are born with the cord wrapped around the neck but that it was okay since thats how they get their oxygen supply, through the cord.

Answer

I had a scan at 32 weeks and the cord was around my sons neck as well I told my dr cause I paid to get it done somewhere and my dr said it’s very common my last 2 sons were born with there cord around there neck as well and one had a knot.. it’s scary to think about it but once you push the head out they remove it ..
