GĐXH - A baby girl weighing 2.5kg was born healthy despite having 9 umbilical cord loops wrapped around her neck. Doctors quickly untied and cut each umbilical cord loop to 'rescue' the baby.
According to information from Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, doctors recently received a healthy baby girl weighing 2.5 kg despite facing an extremely rare challenge of having 9 umbilical cords wrapped around her neck.
Pregnant woman Đ.TML (29 years old), pregnant for the second time, was hospitalized in labor at over 37 weeks. When performing a cesarean section, the team led by Master, Doctor, II Nguyen Xuan Hai - Head of the Department of Gynecology and Endocrinology A1 discovered that the baby had 9 umbilical cord loops tightly wrapped around the neck. This was a very dangerous situation, requiring the team to quickly untangle and cut each umbilical cord loop to rescue the baby.
According to Master. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Hai, who directly performed the cesarean section: "The case of the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck so many times is extremely rare. It can reduce blood flow to the fetus, leading to severe malnutrition, even loss of fetal heart rate at any time. Therefore, the decision to perform a cesarean section in this case was very timely and lucky for both mother and child."
Doctor's recommendation: Pregnant women need to have regular check-ups or follow the doctor's appointment and go to the doctor immediately if there are any unusual signs. During labor, if the fetus has the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck, the doctor will advise and monitor the birth to detect abnormalities early for appropriate treatment.
