If a pregnant woman raises her arms above her head, will the umbilical cord wrap around the baby's neck?

Michele Hakakha (Obstetrician / Gynecologist) gives expert video advice on: Can I figure out if I'm having a boy or a girl by the shape of my belly?; Does being pregnant mean I should 'eat for two'?; If I have heartburn when I'm pregnant, will my baby have lots of hair? and more...

No, I heard that a lot when I was pregnant from my mother-in-law. Umbilical cords are often around babies when we deliver them. They are often around the arms, the legs, the neck. It is a common thing and it usually happens in the first trimester when they are very small and they can swim circles around their umbilical cord. It has nothing to do with a movement that a mother is doing and is very rarely dangerous for the baby.
