tenlittlecygnets · 05/12/2020 00:35

39w cs.

Tbf her cord was wrapped 3x around her neck ...

Somewhereelsewhere · 05/12/2020 00:51

@tenlittlecygnets can I ask, how was it known the cord was around her neck?

harrietm1987 · 05/12/2020 01:11

40+12 (induced for being overdue)
39+6 (induced after waters broke)

@Somewhereelsewhere my second baby’s cord was also wrapped round her neck 3 times. It wasn’t an issue at all - midwife just unwrapped it when she was born (water birth). I looked it up afterwards and a third of babies have the cord round the neck - it’s called a nuchal cord and doesn’t cause any complications in the vast majority of cases.

caringcarer · 05/12/2020 01:31

42+1, 41+3 and 38+1 by section due to baby distress and my very high blood pressure. All jaundiced.
