Should I be worried? I kinda already am

Question

I had a video ultrasound of my son yesterday and it looks like the umbilical cord is close to his neck. I can't get into my OB for 2 weeks. Idk what to do 😭. I also have too much amniotic fluid too.

Accepted Answer

It's totally fine! Baby is going to move so much before they come that the cord might not be near their neck at all. Also, about 25-40% of babies are born with their cord around their neck. Everything is okay. 
Umbilical cords are coated in something called Wharton's Jelly that helps it slide around easily and keep baby safe.
Also, in MOST cases, too much amniotic fluid is totally harmless. There are some concerns for some people, but it's super rare.
Something you can worry about is being too stressed. Cortisol (the stress hormone) easily passes through your placenta to the baby, which makes them stressed, too. Try to be as calm as possible and don't worry until your doctor tells you to be worried. If you can't calm down, just call your doctor's office to ask about it.
Everything is okay, momma! Best wishes, and a healthy, happy baby to you!
