A nuchal cord occurs when the umbilical cord wraps around the fetal neck completely or for 360 degrees.

Nuchal cords are very common during pregnancy with incidences recorded at around 12 percent at 24–26 weeks, reaching 37 percent at full term.

When an umbilical cord becomes wrapped around the neck, the loop is referred to as the nuchal cord. The term "nuchal" relates to the nape or back of the neck.

A nuchal cord is rarely a reason for concern. But what about when it is a concern during birth? Your care provider may cut a tight nuchal cord sooner rather than later for various reasons.

In this case, the baby’s body was being held from delivery and the decision was made to cut the tight cord which expedited the birth for the health of the baby.

It was thought that he might need a few breaths to get him started but he did well transitioning on his own, and this beautiful mama had a successful HBAC(homebirth after cesarean) with a 10lb baby!
