Double accent is a diagnosis that moms are often put on ultrasound. Is it worth it to be afraid of this diagnosis, and how to lead a double-horned delivery?
Double fusion of the cord with the umbilical cord on ultrasound
The diagnosis of a double cord with the umbilical cord around the neck is often put on ultrasound. However, in fact, it is very difficult to reveal the true accusation on ultrasound, since the umbilical cord can simply lie on the shoulders, forming an apparent loop. Moreover, ultrasound is usually done several weeks before the birth. During this time, the child can unwound, and the birth of the accusation will not find. However, if there is a possibility of accusation, it is necessary to repeat the ultrasound shortly before the birth, and also to tell midwives in childbirth that a similar problem has occurred.
Childbirth with double crochet
The question of how the delivery will be performed with a double entrainment is determined by the doctors. And here the complex approach is important. If the double entrainment is confirmed on ultrasound, and also there is oxygen starvation, it is clear that the baby is suffering, then doctors can decide to do a cesarean section. However, by itself, double cord embolism with the umbilical cord without additional indicators can not interfere with natural childbirth.
Double cord with umbilical cord - effects
In childbirth the baby still does not breathe, but feeds on oxygen through the umbilical cord, therefore strangulation of the umbilical cord as such can not be. Even in more complex cases, the accent may not harm the baby if the length of the umbilical cord is sufficient for birth. However, if the umbilical cord is short, the child may become stuck in the birth canal, and emergency measures will have to be taken. Therefore, midwives should carefully monitor the baby's heartbeat and its passage through the birth canal so that the birth can end safely.
In pregnancy, a double entrapment is common, but in most cases the delivery is successful. The main thing is attentive attitude of doctors and good mood of mother.
