Umbilical Cord can wrap around your baby’s neck due to the following reasons;

Excess fetal movement
Very active babies can sometimes move in ways that loop the cord around their neck.

Long umbilical cord
A longer cord gives more opportunity for loops or knots to form.

Too much amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios)
Extra fluid gives the baby more room to move, which increases the chances of the cord looping.

Multiple loops or knots in the cord
Some cords naturally form loops or even true knots, which can sometimes wrap around the neck.

Twin or multiple pregnancies
More babies = more movement and interaction with each other's cords.

Baby is in a breech or transverse position
These positions can lead to more twisting and turning.

Loose abdominal wall or uterine tone
Especially in women who’ve had multiple pregnancies, the uterus may be more relaxed, allowing more fetal movement.

Important Note:
A nuchal cord usually forms naturally, without anything the mother did or didn’t do. It’s not preventable and often doesn’t cause any problems. May your baby not experience this..

Wow

Science has spoken

Culturally and spiritually, we (Igalas) have meaning to this too.

That's what made my wife go through the knife last month for my boy to come out. Her due dates had passed, yet no labour. So she's induced, still the baby couldn't come, until she's cut, and it happened to that the the cord held his neck. He's a healthy boy now.

Killed my first daughter 19yrs ago, After so much excitement and expectation. it was a very dark period that I'll never forget in my entire life but God provided support and comfort through true friends and family.

Since they don't breath I don't think they're in any danger

In Yorubaland we call them Aina for females and Ojo for males but if it's Ijebu both male and female will be named Aina

Pregnancy is a miraculous journey for both mother and babies.

I hope the baby in the photo is okay.
