β€œMy baby almost….” Ahhhh no.

Raise your hand if this is among the top ten questions you get from people considering a non-hospital birth.

A nuchal cord is a medical way of saying that baby’s cord is wrapped around their neck. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
This is something you’ve probably heard about and you may even know someone who had this happen during their birth. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
❗This isn’t at all surprising because nuchal cords are actually quite common – occurring in a little more than 1 in 3 births!⁣⁠
⁣⁠
And even though the idea of the cord being wrapped around the neck seems very scary, in reality, the chance of any complications is rare. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Sometimes we know about nuchal cords ahead of time because they are seen on ultrasound, but in many cases, we don’t know until baby is born.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
πŸ‘‰πŸ» The most common complication occurs during labor. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Basically, when the cord is wrapped around baby’s neck, it can be compressed during contractions, which in turn reduces the amount of blood (and therefore oxygen) that is getting to baby. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
Often time, we see a decrease in baby’s heart rate on the fetal monitor, which tells us the cord is being compressed in some way - and many times we can intervene!⁣⁠
⁣⁠
πŸ€” Did you know that this usually isn’t a cause for complications during birth?⁠

I get a lot of emails and dms asking questions about becoming an and love talking to students. This was me 10yrs ago! As an IBCLC who has been in private practice for 5 years this was such a huge undertaking and preparing for the exam was intimidating to say the least! Dear IBCLC student you can do this! You are amazing! I see and love you!

Fellow IBCLCs this is a great learning opportunity, 2 CERPs and they donate all fees. Dont miss out!

In this session, we’ll explore how breastfeeding becomes a lifeline during war, displacement, and health system collapse.

Drawing on the experience of the Gaza Infant Nutrition Alliance (GINA), we will present a hybrid response model, grounded in local leadership and powered by global telehealth, that has supported over 5,000 mothers in Gaza through malnutrition, separation, and trauma.

The registration fee will be entirely donated to the GINA association (Gaza Infant Nutrition Alliance). You may donate other amounts if you wish.
