I had the pleasure of encapsulating my 3rd unicorn in over 2000 placentas now. This is a photo of a placenta & umbilical cord. The umbilical cord has a true knot in it as you can see in the photo. A “true knot” in the umbilical cord refers to a knot that actually forms within the umbilical cord itself. It only occurs in 0.3-2% of all pregnancies. This can happen when the baby moves through a loop or loops of the cord during pregnancy. While most knots don’t cause problems, a tight true knot can restrict blood flow and oxygen to the baby, potentially leading to serious complications including; Fetal distress, Hypoxia (low oxygen levels), Brain damage & Stillbirth. Fortunately the 3 babies who I have encapsulated for are super healthy newborns, toddler and primary school aged now. Even after 10 years I still get to find rare moments in my work that surprise me.
