International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01


A prolapsed umbilical cord is when the cord enters the opening cervix and down into the birth canal during labour before the baby has left the uterus. The risk of prolapse is higher if the baby is lying in a transverse position, the mother has had more than one baby, an excess amount of amniotic fluid exists, there is preterm prelabour rupture of membranes, or if membranes are artificially ruptured.
