Baby boy born healthy after umbilical cord is tied

Although the umbilical cord was knotted and the amniotic fluid was low, the baby boy weighing 3.6 kg was born safely and healthily at the Obstetrics Department of Nghe An General Hospital.

On May 27, pregnant woman T. (29 years old) was 40 weeks pregnant and gave birth for the second time at the Obstetrics Department of Nghe An General Hospital. The baby boy weighing 3.6 kg was born safely and healthily. The special thing about the birth was that the baby's umbilical cord was knotted and the amniotic fluid was low.

This is a rare condition and it is almost impossible to detect an abnormal umbilical cord before a normal or cesarean delivery. Therefore, if the fetus has this condition, the mortality rate in the womb during labor is very high. It is very fortunate and miraculous that the fetus is still safe.

The survival and development of a fetus in the womb depends on many factors, of which the umbilical cord plays a very important role in transporting nutrients and oxygen from the mother to the baby. Complications of umbilical cord knots can occur before and during birth, often requiring immediate emergency treatment to prevent the worst for the fetus.

After giving birth, mother and child T. were stable and were discharged home.
