When you are pregnant, did the doctor tell you that the fetus is a bit naughty, and now there is an umbilical cord around the neck?
When you hear such news, as a pregnant mother, are you confused? What is the umbilical cord around the neck? Seriously not?
Umbilical cord circumference is very common in obstetric clinics, accounting for about 20% to 25% of the total number of births. The causes of occurrence are generally related to excessive umbilical cord, small fetus, excessive amniotic fluid and frequent fetal movements.
But what you may not know is that the umbilical cord around the neck is actually related to some of the behavior habits of pregnant mothers.
1
Pregnant mothers exercise improperly
In the third trimester, each examination doctor will advise pregnant mothers to pay attention to appropriate exercise, and pay attention to appropriate rather than exercise.
If the pregnant mother does not pay attention and exercises improperly, it will cause her shortness of breath, which will affect the fetus.
Because the pregnant mother exercises improperly, the fetus will also have a lack of oxygen, become urgent and restless, and move around in the pregnant mother's stomach, thereby increasing the probability of the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck.
Advice to pregnant mothers: Pregnant mothers must control the intensity of the third trimester of pregnancy, it is best to carry out in the form of walking, do not be too large.
If you are a mother-to-be who wants to do yoga during pregnancy, fitness exercises during pregnancy, be sure to do it under the guidance of a professional instructor.
Pregnant mothers often stay up late

For young people now, sleeping at eleven or twelve o'clock at night seems very normal, but for pregnant mothers, it is still necessary to try not to stay up late.
Excessive staying up late will affect the normal secretion of hormones in the human body, which will affect the physical condition of pregnant mothers and will also have many bad effects on the fetus.
The most important thing is that the pregnant mother staying up late will disrupt the baby's normal biological clock, disturb the fetal work and rest law, and the fetus will become too active, which will increase the possibility of the fetus circling the neck.
Advice for pregnant mothers: Pregnant mothers must ensure enough sleep time, and it is best to keep the sleep time at about 9 hours a day.
It is recommended not to drink water before going to bed, otherwise you will frequently go to the toilet at night.

Pregnant mothers sleep in incorrect positions
For pregnant mothers, there is an extra ball in the stomach for no reason, and there will be all kinds of discomfort when sleeping naturally, and when the baby is still young, the sleeping position is not so exquisite.
But in the third trimester, the sleeping position of the pregnant mother must be more exquisite.
Pregnant mothers are best to use the left side of the sleeping method, because this can reduce the compression of the aorta of the pregnant mother's body, ensure the normal supply of fetal blood, make the baby's activities more relaxed, and reduce the occurrence of fetal neck to a certain extent.
Advice for pregnant mothers: Pregnant mothers in the middle and third trimesters of pregnancy, mostly sleep in the left lying position, and the right lying position can be appropriately slept. This way the fetus will be much more comfortable.
In addition, the umbilical cord circumference is not indicative of caesarean section. So pregnant mothers should not worry too much, and the high incidence of umbilical cord around the neck does not mean pathological conditions.
As long as monitoring during labour is strengthened, the prevalence of fetuses/newborns with umbilical cords around the neck does not increase.
But for the sake of baby health, pregnant mothers should remember to pay more attention to these 3 aspects!
