Q: I am a 26 years old female in my second trimester of pregnancy. As per the ultrasound report at 23 weeks, a single cord is around my baby's neck. Is it dangerous?

A:Not to worry, the single cord around the baby's neck will get corrected. You should just keep a watch on the fetal movements and get an ultrasound done at term.
