Some doctors will say that there is no umbilical cord pressure mark on the fetus' neck, and many people do not understand what that means.

Is it a big deal if there is a U-shaped pressure mark on the fetus' neck?

A U-shaped pressure mark can be seen on the fetus' neck. This problem is actually just a phenomenon of the umbilical cord being wrapped directly around the neck. Umbilical cord wrapped around the neck can cause adverse conditions such as fetal distress and hypoxia in the uterus. There is no need to worry if it is wrapped around the neck for one week, because the phenomenon of the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck may be alleviated at a later stage.

Ultrasonic examination can accurately determine whether the umbilical cord is wrapped around the fetus' neck and whether there are any abnormalities. If any abnormalities occur, care measures should be taken in a timely manner.

What to do if a U-shaped pressure mark is visible on the fetus' neck

The umbilical cord contains umbilical blood vessels that maintain the life of the fetus. The umbilical cord blood vessels are longer than the umbilical cord. Normally, the blood vessels are curled in a spiral shape. The umbilical cord itself is wrapped in gelatin and has a certain degree of elasticity. Fetuses that are wrapped around the umbilical cord or have the umbilical cord around their necks will not develop clinical symptoms because the degree of umbilical cord entanglement and compression is relatively mild.

This type of entanglement is not very dangerous to the mother or the baby, and the mother can still give birth smoothly vaginally. Even if the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, since the fetal head is less mobile, it usually does not endanger the health of the fetus as long as the umbilical cord is not tightened.

It can be seen from this that the U-shaped pressure mark visible on the fetus' neck means that the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck. This situation is very common in clinical obstetrics, so mothers do not need to worry too much. The reason why this happens is mainly because the early fetus is relatively small and can move freely in the abdomen, so the probability of it wrapping around the neck will increase. Mothers can make adjustments according to the doctor's instructions, and some of them can be adjusted.
