Umbilical cord entanglement around the neck usually occurs during the mid-pregnancy period, as this is when the baby moves more frequently. The baby has a larger range of movement within the uterine cavity, which can easily lead to the cord wrapping around the neck, abdomen, legs, or arms. Generally, if there is no cord entanglement found after 32 weeks of pregnancy, it is unlikely that it will occur. However, this is not certain. After the baby engages, which is after 35 weeks, the baby's position becomes fixed, and it is unlikely for cord entanglement to occur thereafter.
