Generally, when the umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck, it often does not affect the fetal movement or fetal heart rate changes. It is quite common for the cord to be wrapped around once, and if the wrapping is loose and does not affect the blood supply from the placenta, fetal movement will not change. However, if the cord is tightly wrapped multiple times, it can affect the blood supply of the umbilical cord and impact the fetal blood circulation, leading to frequent fetal movements. Therefore, pregnant women should learn to count fetal movements themselves to understand if the fetus is experiencing hypoxia in the womb.
