Compare the number of times you have seen a true knot at delivery of a
well child and the number of cases of intrauterine death due to a true
knot. Further, because of the turgidity of the cord due to its blood
pressure there is room for doubt that cord accidents are the cause of
death rather than the antecedent of death from other blood flow
problems.

Could be true knot that isn't fatal. Your'e going to deliver "just in
case?"
Just wondering where the dividing line is between the "every birth is a
disaster waiting to happen and can't be diagnosed as normal until after
the event" and "birth is a natural event with some fatal outcomes due to
(someties cord) accidents." And what of the sequela of delivering a
preterm baby because of the fear of a fatal cord accident?
