Is it true that once head down position in attained it will remain like that and I have high chances of normal delivery , can I have normal delivery with existance of single loop ?

OBGYN,  's  Response
At 29 weeks the baby can frequently flip around and it may not be head down later in the pregnancy, but 99% of babies become head down (if not already) by 36 weeks even if the position of the fetus changes in between. In addition, 20 percent of normal pregnancies have a cord around the neck at birth and have no complications. However your baby could also flip around and unwrap the cord by the time it is born. So it is a good sign that the baby is already in position and if it stays that way, even with a single loop of cord around the neck, you have a high chance of a normal delivery. I hope this answered your question and good luck with your pregnancy.
