3D/4D Ultrasound - Umbilical Cord draped around shoulers

[Lily Dust]

DD had her cord drapped over her shoulder too, think it was the 20 week or the 30 week scan. Our midwife also told us that its pretty common for bub to have it loosely looped around at birth. Try not to stress too much its pretty common apparently

DS2 was born with the cord over his shoulder. Very common, so I wouldn't worry

Every scan i had with DS from 19wks on, he always had the cord up over his shoulder and he was born with it twisted around his body too going up over his shoulder, around his back and coming back over the other side of his body.

It used to freak me out every time i had a scan (and i had heaps) with it being so close to his neck, but hes ok and it wasnt around his neck when he was born.
