Short Umbilical CordShort umbilical cord is indicative of less fetal movement. It is thought that the length of the umbilical cord depends on the intrauterine movement. If the baby does not move, the cord is short. The normal human umbilical cord reaches 60-70 cm. or even more. The length of the umbilical cord has no effect on the fetal blood flow. However, a long umbilical cord is considered more dangerous as it can be knotted, entangled aroung the fetus and the neck, or prolapse out of uterus during delivery.
