Let's see, what is umbilical cord torsion? Under normal circumstances, the length of fetal umbilical cord is about 55㎝, if it is shorter than 30㎝, it means that the umbilical cord is too short, and the fetal head may not descend normally during natural delivery, which increases the difficulty of natural delivery; If it is longer than 80㎝, it means that the umbilical cord is too long, which is easy to cause umbilical cord knotting, umbilical cord winding around the neck and umbilical cord winding during pregnancy. The most common is that the umbilical cord wraps around the neck, but it won't have much influence.
Because the umbilical cord is an important hub connecting the placenta and the fetus, if the umbilical cord is twisted or knotted, it will not be able to deliver oxygen and nutrition to the fetus smoothly, which will cause fetal growth retardation and asphyxia due to hypoxia.
What is the cause of umbilical cord torsion? At present, there is no very convincing theory to prove the cause of umbilical cord torsion. It can only be said that the umbilical cord is too long, the baby is naughty, and the probability of umbilical cord torsion will increase.
Unfortunately, there is no effective treatment for umbilical cord torsion during pregnancy. We can only monitor the condition of the fetus in the womb in real time. If it can last until the fetus is full-term (after 37 weeks of pregnancy), it is best. If not, the doctor will give a caesarean section in advance according to the situation, and the fetus will be born prematurely to ensure safety.
Summary:
Umbilical cord torsion is a probability problem, which may or may not happen. It is inevitable that pregnant mothers will be more careful, but the probability is very low. So don't worry too much about whether there will be umbilical cord torsion in the next pregnancy, just welcome the arrival of the new baby with peace of mind.
