Abstract

Cord prolapse is an uncommon phenomenon that compromises fetal well-being when intervention is not prompt and competent. Professional training and prenatal counseling affect results. A rare case of umbilical cord prolapse occurring at a patient’s home is presented, 15 cm of cord protruding out the vagina, with no compression, normal cardiotocography, and live and healthy newborn.
