Medics were shocked when this kid appeared with his umbilical cord closely wrapped around his neck, not only once but six times. The incredible natural conception didn’t have any effects for mother or baby after cutting the umbilical cord.
The delivery took place at Yichang Central Hospital in Yichang District, in Hubei Province in western China.
Obstetrics manager Li Hua has said: “I have been working for 23 years, and this is the first time I have seen in umbilical cord wrapped around a baby’s neck like this.”
She added: “To find the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby’s neck is not uncommon and if it’s long enough, will usually not cause problems.”
Medics said they had seen the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby’s neck but hadn’t known how many times and
had been able to brace for it due to diligent prenatal observation and regular monitoring during the pregnancy of the woman.
The mother, identified by Dai ‘s surname, thanked medics and said:
“I am glad that there is no problem with my daughter.”
It is not the first time, and we are confident that it will
not be the last time a baby has appeared in an innocent manner.
