Ever heard of (nuchal cord)? It means when the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck of the fetus, it usually resolve before delivery but when it doesnt it can be dangeorus and might lead to death, however in this picture something more rare happens, the umbilical cord is rotated around the abdomen of the fetus, due to this complications surgeons had to do C-section in order to prevent any further complications and save the baby's life! @medicalcortex #medstudent #nurse #doctor #surgery #fetus #baby #pregnant #pregnancy #surgeon #f4f #l4l #ob #gy #premed #usmle #nuchalcord #mom #newmom #csection
