Hi,
The baby keeps moving in the uterus. So the loop of cord may move away before you go into labour.
Exercise and yoga don't seem to help.
Most babies having loop around the neck deliver normally. So don't get worried.

But in some cases as the baby moves down the birth canal the loop may get tight around the neck causing problem to the baby. But this can be detected on the fetal monitoring . In this situation cesarean needs to be done.
Therefore what is important is when you start labour pains you must have continuous monitoring of fetal heart rate using the monitor.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction
