Whartonโs jelly is a gelatinous substance that protects the two arteries & single vein within the umbilical cord from compression. This is beneficial when a baby presents with their umbilical cord wrapped around their neck, an umbilical cord knot, or any sort of pinched/compressed cord!
Did you know that 1 out of 3 babies are born with the umbilical cord wrapped around their neck? The cordโs Whartonโs jelly allows the oxygenated blood to continue flowing to your baby by providing a jelly-like cushion to prevent compression! ๐ก
