33 weeks pregnant 45 days to go |
Did You Know? At birth, the baby's umbilical cord is closed naturally by a special jellylike substance that surrounds the vessels of the cord throughout pregnancy. The jelly swells up with exposure to the air and compresses the embedded vessels like a tourniquet. Some naturally occurring hormones in the jelly also help to prevent bleeding. That's why when the cord is cut, it is practically bloodless.
Children are poor men's riches. ~English Proverb
