What happens to the portion of the umbilical cord that's inside the body after birth?
Question:
Answers:
The artery/vein inside the cord collapse; it becomes a fibrous band and stays inside abdomen of the baby.
Other Answers:
You push it out as part of the afterbirth. (It's attached to the placenta.)
it comes out with the placenta. the doctor pulls it out after the baby is born. it detaches. I comes out with the afterbirth. Well, it doesn't exactly come out by itself, at least not in natural childbirth. The nurse or doctor will knead your stomach and you will want to punch them in the face. But it will force you to have another contraction that will push the afterbirth (and the remainder of the cord) out.
It becomes "ligamentum teres", a fibrous band that runs from navel to liver.
there is no cord inside the baby, its on the outside
This actually closes down after birth..when it fails to do so, the result is what is referred to as a "hole in the heart." they take it with the after birth.
