What Causes The Umbilical Cord Wrapped Around Baby S Legs?

Hi, I am 33 years old, my hight 156, I am now 69kg and 56kg before pregnancy. I have 7 healthy kids and all deliveries are normal. In 23 weeks of pregnancy I make ultrasound. There was umbilical cord wrapped around babys legs. They told me sure it s a girl. Can I hope that they make mistake, because I have 5 girls?
