Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. It is often found that loops of the umbilical cord get wrapped around the neck of the baby as it tosses around in the amniotic fluid. Most often, they get unlooped at term as the baby settles down and descends down. If the loops are loose enough, there is no harm; however, if they are tight, they can act like a noose and this is dangerous. The cause of the baby movements should be watched in this scenario. A sonogram will help to detect any possible fetal distress and so is a tocogram. Take adequate rest, preferably in left lateral position and monitor fetal movements. Hope this helps.
