Overt umbilical cord prolapse requires rupture of membranes. This is the most common type of cord prolapse. occult umbilical prolapse: descent of the umbilical cord alongside the presenting fetal part, but has not advanced past the presenting fetal part. Occult umbilical prolapse can occur with both intact or ruptured membranes.
Umbilical cord compression can result from, for example, entanglement of the cord, [16] a knot in the cord, [16] or a nuchal cord, [16] (which is the wrapping of the umbilical cord around the fetal neck) [17] but these conditions do not always cause obstruction of fetal circulation.

Umbilical cord prolapse occurs when the umbilical cord comes out of the uterus with or before the presenting part of the fetus. It is a relatively rare condition and occurs in fewer than 1% of pregnancies. Cord prolapse is more common in women who have had rupture of their amniotic sac.
Intrauterine hypoxia (also known as fetal hypoxia) occurs when the fetus is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen.It may be due to a variety of reasons such as prolapse or occlusion of the umbilical cord, placental infarction, maternal diabetes (prepregnancy or gestational diabetes) [1] and maternal smoking.
umbilical cord accidents. Prolapsed umbilical cord – Prolapse of the umbilical cord happens when the foetus is not in a correct position in the pelvis. Membranes rupture and the cord is pushed out through the cervix. When the fetus pushes on the cervix, the cord is compressed and blocks blood and oxygen flow to the fetus.
While umbilical cord keepsakes are going viral on social platforms like TikTok, the preservation practice is not new. Carmen Calvo, 43, of San Antonio, Texas, has been creating keepsakes from ...
Umbilical cord prolapse occurs when the umbilical cord comes out of the uterus with or before the presenting part of the fetus. Umbilical cord prolapse should always be considered a possibility when there is a sudden decrease in fetal heart rate or variable decelerations, particularly after the rupture of membranes. With overt prolapses, the ...
Umbilical cord prolapse may occur, particularly in the complete, footling, or kneeling breech. [23] This is caused by the lowermost parts of the baby not completely filling the space of the dilated cervix. [23] When the waters break the amniotic sac, it is possible for the umbilical cord to drop down and become compressed. [23]
