36 week sonogram. Cord around neck

Today I'm 36 seeks and we also had our sonogram where they measured our LO. He is measuring at 6lbs 6oz 
Everything looked good but the dr said that he has the cord around his neck. She also mentioned that this is fairly common and that if my LO gets dressed during labor the alternative would be to do a c section. Should I be worried? She didn't seem too concerned about it. She also mentioned that he's already in the correct position she is wayyyy down there which explains alot since I am having horrible pressure down there. I'm due Oct. 8th and she said he will prob be here a week earlier. She said if he's not then we will induce due to the fact that the cord is around his neck.
Anyone ever experience this?

Re: 36 week sonogram. Cord around neck
This is all hear say, but that makes sense in my mind. The cord is generally 20 in long. So that still leaves room for Drs to easily remove the cord, if wrapped only once. I'm sure there are exceptions.
Hope everything goes well!
