Hello, and I hope I can help you today. 15 percent of completely normal, healthy babies are born with the umbilical cord around the neck without any complications. The person delivering the baby can undo the loop or cut the cord at birth. I do suggest, however, that you deliver your baby in an institution that has constant monitoring of the babies heart rate during labor. Certain heart rate patterns can be detected of there is cord compression, and then if there are any problems, they can be diagnosed early and dealt with safely. So in summary, you really do not have to worry if the baby has a cord around the neck, but you should have the babies heart rate monitored closely during labor. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy,
