Freeing your precious one from the neck strap by having them crawl for just a week, without any harm to both mom and baby. What's the trick behind this?
The phenomenon of umbilical cord entanglement around the baby's neck during pregnancy is a common occurrence due to the baby's movements in the mother's womb. When the cord wraps around the neck, the baby receives less oxygen and essential nutrients for proper development. In severe cases, it can pose a risk of death.
There's a clever trick to safely remove the neck strap without the need for any consumption, especially without any side effects affecting the baby. The trick is to 'crawl counterclockwise around the crib before bedtime.' During ultrasound, when the doctor mentions the number of loops the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck, the mother crawls the same number of loops.

Sharing her experience, Lan Anh from Cau Giay, Hanoi says: 'When I was 32 weeks pregnant with my baby girl, she was also entangled with the umbilical cord. During the ultrasound, the doctor's words scared me. I talked to my mother-in-law, and she suggested crawling around the bed for a week. After a reexamination in a week, the issue was completely resolved. Tears of joy flowed.'
Details of the Crawling Technique to Resolve Umbilical Cord Entanglement
Within a week before bedtime, crawl counterclockwise around the bed for the exact number of loops the umbilical cord is entangled around the baby's neck. For example, if Lan Anh's baby girl had 2 loops, she crawled exactly 2 loops, not more. After one week, moving into the second week, mothers going for ultrasound will witness a surprising change.

Concerning the Umbilical Cord Entanglement in Small Children within the Mother's Womb, there are a few small notes:
- This is a folk remedy passed down by ancestors, widely adopted by pregnant mothers with success. While not scientifically explained, this method is harmless. The baby is not affected at all, and mothers can avoid psychological distress and fear when applying it. Maintaining a positive mood throughout pregnancy is a crucial condition for the stable development of the child.
- Pregnant mothers should not crawl immediately after a full meal. Take a break and crawl about 1-2 hours after eating, with the stomach facing downwards. Avoid excessive crawling, as it can cause dizziness and is not only ineffective in resolving the cord entanglement but also not good for the baby.
- Choose quiet environments for your baby, play music at a moderate volume to avoid excessive rolling and turning, reducing the risk of cord entanglement.
- Strictly prohibit any abdominal massage to untangle the cord without a doctor's recommendation. Improper massage can constrict the uterus, worsening the baby's condition significantly.
- Crawling once a day is sufficient; avoid excessive crawling.
- Monitor your baby's condition daily through a fetal monitor. If you notice any abnormalities, head to the hospital immediately to prevent tight cord entanglement, ensuring oxygen supply and blood circulation to the baby.
Wishing all the little ones a speedy and healthy growth for parents' peace of mind and joy. We sincerely hope this small tip proves helpful to expectant mothers with babies facing umbilical cord entanglement.
