Hello!
This is quite an unusual thing to be concerned about, what has sparked your anxious thoughts?
I was born with the cord wrapped around my neck, it isn’t a huge deal. And I remember DS had his wrapped around his face on our 3D scan

Right, first off, get the hell off google. It’ll do you absolutely no good and you will convince yourself everything will go wrong.

If you have any genuine concerns, give your midwife a call.

A few more weeks and you’ll be feeling those little feet kicking you and you’ll be reassured.

Until then, distract yourself and try not to let worries get on top of you x
