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 prevalence of nuchal cords increase with advancing gestational age. In a report by Larson et al, they found that the incidence of nuchal cords increased from 5.8% at 20 weeks to 29% at 42 weeks gestation. The increase is thought to be due to either increased fetal activity and or decreased amniotic fluid volume.
