I am Narayanan having email id as immortality2269@gmail.com living in Coimbatore in India.
Iam of the opinion that Wharton's jelly along with the umbilical cord and the arteries in it are all belonging to one single organ and we are making a grave mistake by clamping the umbilical cord and cutting it and throwing it away.Kindly revert to my email so that we can have an elaborate discussion on the issue.
Because of the differences among cords in Wharton'sjelly, collagen content, and muscle layer structure there is a range of breakage points and sites.
Wharton'sJelly content: Umbilical cords can be large (thick) and exceed an average of 4cm in circumference, especially at the umbilicus.
The average weight is 15 gms/ 10 cm at term and dependent on male gender, prepregnancy maternal weight and birthweight.(8) Umbilical cord swellings at the attachment to the fetus should be examined before cutting and clamping the cord.
