However, if the bladder is over run with bacteria, and more specifically, if the bacteria attach to the walls of the bladder and begin to multiply, the body will become overwhelmed with too much bacteria to eliminate it effectively.
A nuchal cord occurs when the umbilical cord encircles the fetal head. It is sometimes referred to as the cord around the neck. Often it is documented as nuchal cord x3 which means the cord is wrapped around the fetal head three times.
The presence of a nuchal cord was determined by real-time ultrasound as follows: the ultrasound transducer was placed parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fetal neck and the presence of a nuchal cord was visualised as a single or as multiple coils around the fetal neck, according to the number of cord entanglements.
