When there is a situation with the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck, pregnant women should absolutely not blindly try certain exercises, such as climbing stairs, which actually have no scientific basis. Doing so not only fails to alleviate the condition of the cord being wrapped but might even increase the baby's activity, leading to a more serious entanglement. During the mid-stage of pregnancy, pregnant women should pay attention to rest, avoid exhaustion, and sometimes the baby's movements might even resolve the wrapping of the cord. Therefore, it is important to take scientific care during pregnancy and follow the doctor's advice, and not to engage in any exercises on one's own.
