It is very common to have cords wrapped around babies' necks. Problems
with this are very rare - even when there are two wraps. Also, there
are ties when the US is wrong about the position of the cord. It's good
practice to keep tabs on the baby's movements anyway.
Your baby should do fine.
Your next pregnancy could be perfectly normal without a hitch. it is
possible that you could have the stones develop again, but that to a
certainty.
Try to keep cool.
