You're delivering a baby on site. What's it called when the umbilical cord presents first?

The baby usually exits the birth canal before the umbilical cord, but if the cord precedes the baby, this is called a prolapsed cord. Due to its high risk of blocking blood flow and oxygen to the baby, a prolapsed cord is a state of emergency and often requires a C-section.
