Hi
Thanks for your query.
Fetal head is normally in the lower pole, so do not worry.
Placental position is also normal.
Umbilical cord around the neck MIGHT cause problems in labour if it is quite tight.
However, right now there is no problem in the report described by you.
All the best.

Hi,
The position of the fetus and the placenta are normal. Presence of the cord around the neck at this stage may or may not correct spontaneously and as such does not pose much problem; progress of labor needs to be closely monitored. With a long cord, labor will progress normally. So, please do not worry. Most often, during the process of normal labor, cord around the neck is discovered accidentally. Hope your query is answered. Wish you safe motherhood.
