found out from my scan yesterday that the cord is around our little guy's neck. Its loose so the dr doesn't seem concerned. How worried should I be?

The cord was round our LO's neck too, but nobody realised until 23 hours into labour when both me and DS went into distress - I was cross that we hadn't had a C section (instead a very fast episotomy to get him out) but a gynae told me sternly a few years later that if everyone had a Csection for a cord-neck situation then Csections would be v common! so i think it must be quite a common situation. It's great that it has been picked up so early, I guess you just monitor very closely and call Dr if you are concerned at all. Good luck x

I wouldn't be to worried as long as Dr is keeping an eye on it. My girl had the same problem so they induced me on my due date. She was born with the cord around her neck and was blue didn't cry for 15 seconds! All of us were terrified and saying come on baby cry, cry baby. Well she started crying and didn't stop for two years! If Dr isn't worried I wouldn't be too worried.
