So sorry to hear that B ' mom ;I got some literature about it and since it has happend I have spoken to few doct.Death due to Hpercoiled cords can be prevented if caught on time, some signs are IUGR and less fetal movement ,most of the cases occurs in 3 rd trimester and a doppler of the cord would show less blood flow ,in a study done in Japan 10 women were observed and Hpercoiled umbilical cord was noted between 24 weeks gestation and 39 ,again due to those signs I mentioned before ; I had 2 previous pregnancy full tem c section helathy boys ,this was just a fluck like they said ,still there is not a day that goes by where I don't feel guilty or miss holding my baby in my arms ,I was so busy with the holidays the new baby on the way I did not do my kick counting I noticed he was moving less but I tought it was because he was getting bigger and he was tired just like his mommy ; shame on me but again every situation is different ,you were early and baby still small to feel much movement and they can tell yet why baby keeps turning on the same side my baby's cord was 7 times more coiled then a normal one.
Hope you 'll get some answers and yes what a sad and preventabe way of loosing a baby ( I wish they did doppler of the cord as routine test in later months of the pregnancy) I had no more us after the 2o weeks ,too long .......
