What happens to the portion of the umbilical cord that's inside the body after birth?

Question

To clarify, I mean inside the baby, not the mother

Answer 1

The artery/vein inside the cord collapse; it becomes a fibrous band and stays inside abdomen of the baby.

Answer 2

Tubes go to several areas inside the baby (for example the bladder and the liver). I know the bladder because of my own experience and the liver because of my Mother's experience. Sometimes it does not dissolve (like with me, my mother, my uncle on my mother's side and my 2nd cousin). After my first daughter was born, the labor opened up the tube to my bladder and I had urine leaking out of my navel on to my abdomen (diaper rash) for about 10 days. I know this sounds gross but it is true. I didn't know what the problem was and I didn't know it was urine until I checked with a doctor. My doctor told me that the surgery was intensive to have it removed and said to keep it closed with medicated powder. There was a tiny hole in the side of my navel deep in my abdomen. The powder clogs up the tiny hole. I only had to use the powder for several days until it closed up. I have done this periodically for 45 years. It has only opened about 5 times. Usually when I do something strenuous like lift a really heavy weight or push a car off to start it. I have forgotten the long medical name for this condition, but it does exist. Both my mother and my uncle had their navels removed because of this problem and my mother's was connected to her liver. I was told it wasn't a genetic condition. Go figure . . . four people all related.

Answer 3

It receives many times re-absorbed. that's part of the same procedure that closes the hollow between both chambers of the heart and the bypass by employing the liver besides because the arteries operating alongside the bladder. many of the former vein and arteries change into fibrous bands and part of the peritoneum.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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."

Answer 6

there is no cord inside the baby, its on the outside

Answer 7

It becomes "ligamentum teres", a fibrous band that runs from navel to liver.

Answer 8

it comes out with the placenta. the doctor pulls it out after the baby is born. it detaches.

Answer 9

they take it with the after birth.

Answer 10

You push it out as part of the afterbirth. (It's attached to the placenta.)
