What should I do if I'm over 7 months pregnant with a transverse fetal position and the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck once?
Disease description:
During a prenatal checkup, the fetus was found to be in a transverse position, and the umbilical cord was wrapped around the neck once. What should be done when the fetus is in a transverse position and has a single nuchal cord at over seven months of pregnancy?

At over seven months of pregnancy, with the fetus in a transverse position and one loop of nuchal cord, knee-chest positioning is performed under the guidance of a physician. Ultrasound showing nuchal cord is quite common and does not require intervention or correction. This condition does not affect fetal growth, cause fetal hypoxia, or impact delivery, nor does it impose restrictions on diet or exercise. Around seven months of gestation, when transverse lie and nuchal cord occur, it is important to get adequate rest. Avoid staying up late, and preferably lie on the left side to minimize abdominal contact.
