How does the umbilical cord come out of mom Will it fall or do you have to cut out?
In some cases, the umbilical cord may not need to be cut immediately. This may happen if the baby is born prematurely or if there is a medical condition that requires the cord to be left intact for a period of time. In these cases, the cord will eventually fall off on its own within a few days or weeks.
As the cord falls off, a small amount of bleeding may occur. This is normal and should stop on its own. However, if the bleeding is heavy or does not stop, it is important to contact the healthcare provider.
