Is One Loop Around The Neck Of The Foetus A Cause For Worry?

Hi iam currently 36 weeks pregnancy and did my 3rd trim usg today morning. I have asked the sonographist whether everything is okay and he said yes.he had not mention about the one loop seen around our babys neck.i went home and asked someone to bring yhe report for me by 8 pm as i was reading the report there was a finding that there is a one loop cord around the babys neck. I called up my obgyn but they are closed for the day.and i went straight to gheir emergency desk to ask for opinion of a doc on call but the doc have tokd me that it happens in 50% pregnancy and noeed not to worry. Iam really stressed out and tensed and cant sleep because ofnthis...is this a cause of comcern and should i seek for a second opinion for the best of our baby...please help...thnaks and god bless

Hello welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Chors around the neck is seen quiet often. Nothing emergency until baby is doing well.
You have to be conscious with the baby movements ( increase or decreased ) should alarm you and visit ER. A feral doppler evaluation would be helpful in fetal wellbeing.
Need to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you. Dr. Ganesh.
