Hi, Thank you for the query. I understand your concern. Baby is attached to mothers blood circulation by umbilical cord...while cord joins placenta a junction between mother's circulation and fetal circulatlion.. & placenta is attached to uterine wall. Now fetus is moving freely in uterine cavity.. while being pivoted to placenta bu umbilical cord... in such condition fetal movements can cause a loop around fetal neck at any moment... &this may turn fatal if the loop is tightened around neck. The only way out is to get LSCSdone in time & s ave the baby. Your doctor had trie.d the same. So please don't be scared.The incidence was just a coincidence & need not repeat.You will definitely have a boney sby next time. Plan it according to your gynecoligist. Thanks
