• Prolapse of the umbilical cord means that the cord precedes the baby through the vagina.

    A prolapsed umbilical cord occurs in about 1 of 1,000 deliveries. When the umbilical cord prolapses, the fetus’s body may put pressure on the cord and thus cut off the fetus’s blood supply.

    This uncommon complication may be obvious (overt) or not (occult).
