S8 Ep 6 - Nuchal cords and cord prolapse with independent midwife Debs Neiger

We have all heard "thank god I was in the hospital because the cord was wrapped around the baby's neck!" but how dangerous is a nuchal cord, and why does it happen? And what causes cord prolapse and what can be done when it occurs? Cords wrapped around babies necks and cords slipping out first... they sound like total emergency disaster situations! But whilst one is an obstetric emergency, the other isn't. We talk nuchal cords and cord prolapse with independent midwife Debs Neiger. This essential episode will re-educate and dispel myths, and an important listen for anyone who is pregnant.
