During the nine months of pregnancy, the baby does not use its lungs to breathe, but does so through the mother. In fact, their lungs will take a long time to mature, and it won't be until birth that they start working.
Cordocentesis, also called percutaneous cord blood sampling, is a prenatal diagnostic test performed during pregnancy to analyze the baby's genetic information.
The umbilical cord in the newborn is cut at birth, leaving a stump that remains for a few days to dry out until it falls off around the second or third week of life. Although you do not have to do much to make that happen, you do have to take into account some recommendations to heal the navel of the newborn.
Umbilical cord prolapse is a complication that occurs before or during childbirth, understood as "prolapse" the fall or descent of an organ or organic structure. In this rare case (it occurs in less than 1% of births), the umbilical cord falls or prolapses through the cervix in front of the baby once labor has started.
For some years now, various studies and scientific investigations have found that delaying the cutting of the umbilical cord has various benefits for the baby, both short and long term.
When the umbilical cord is cut, there is a stump that turns black and dries out until it falls off, which we know as the fall of the navel or the umbilical cord. But when do babies' navels usually fall out?
The baby's umbilical cord will fall off between 10 days and three weeks after birth. The way to bathe a baby before the cord falls when the clip is still on the navel is different from how we do it afterwards.
The loop or circular cord is one of the great concerns about childbirth, because as is normal, it scares that it could drown the baby, but the truth is that it is quite frequent and usually resolves without major complications.
