What Are The Effects Of Uncoiled Cord During Pregnancy?

I am 22 weeks 37 years old and have gestational Diab...now I have an uncoiled cord. How worried should I be? The Dr is checking it every few weeks for now and then more closely later. Does an uncoiled always effect the baby? Dr. also said it would be later in pregnancy if it was a problem, how much later?

Hallow Dear,

Gestational Diabetes and Coiled cord are not interrelated, except the water may be more due to diabetes hence more space for the baby to move around. The coiled cord may get in shape in due course during labour. If it remains around the neck of the baby and strangulates the baby, then caesarean delivery will be the outcome.

Hope this helps you.
