Is the umbilical cord connefted to the navel even if one is borned?
Yes, the umbilical cord is connected to the navel (or belly button) at birth. The umbilical cord serves as the lifeline between the mother and the fetus during pregnancy, providing nutrients and oxygen while removing waste. After birth, the cord is typically clamped and cut, leaving a small stump attached to the baby's abdomen. This stump eventually dries up and falls off, leaving the navel as a permanent mark of where the umbilical cord was attached.
