You cannot choke when you are still connected with umbilical cord. You don’t have to breathe.
EDIT: Ignore this comment, I was wrong. In my defense I have to say that this is what my biology teacher teached us, that babies cannot choke with their umbilical cord. But she is also antivax, so I shouldn’t have believed her.
Apparently this is common. It’s not a good thing and obviously an emergency as they wanted it not wrapped around my neck. Regardless I was not going to make it.
