[|Human|] I had my 18 week ultrasound on Monday. The tech had written that the umbilical cord was uncoiled. My doctor didn t seem upset. He even said he wasn t sure what that had to do with anything. Since reading online I ve seen many scary scenarios. Should I be concerned?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the uncoiling of umbilical cord might not be significant. It does not have to do anything and I agree with your doctor regarding this. True knots and false knots are also seen in umbilical cord and that is also not significant. The only thing which matters are loop of cord around the fetal neck at term pregnancy. There can be tight loop or loose loop. The loose loop might not cause any problem, but the tight loop might prevent the decent of fetus during the labor. And tight loop might be the cause of failure of progress of labor in that case and Caesarion is advised. So from the above explanation it is clear that uncoiling is not significant. Hope this helps. Best regards...
