An umbilical cord with a true knot. A true knot is exactly what is described, a knot that forms in the umbilical cord during the pregnancy, typically as a result of the foetus flipping and moving within the amniotic sac. True knots can, at times, be a risk to the developing foetus as it can lead to a reduction in circulation and this may result in the death of the foetus in utero - especially during labour.
