The Umbilical Cord?

I have always wondered this: after the umbilical cord it cut, what happens to the part that is connected to the women? Does it come out or does it go back in her?

1. It comes out with the placenta
2. It comes out as part of the placenta, also called the afterbirth.
3. all of it comes out
4. it is attached to the placenta which also comes out - also called 'afterbirth'
5. It is connected to the placenta and the placenta is delivered usually within 20 minutes after the baby is born, or taken out right after the baby if you have a c-section.
6. it comes out when you deliver the placenta about 10 minutes after birth
7. It comes out in a big wide maroon pancake-like piece called the placenta. It usually comes out right away or within an hour. Then after the birth, she has bleeding like a period for a couple of weeks or a bit longer, til the place it peeled off the uterus fully heals up.
8. It would be pretty disgusting if it just went back inside a woman. People are right, it comes out with the placenta.
9. It is connected to the amnionic sack, it provides nourishment to the baby during the gestational period. Once the baby is born, it comes out connected to the sack, it is part of what is called afterbirth.
10. its attached to the placenta which will come out of the female a lil while after the baby is born so after its cut it just hangs around lol! for real!
11. The other end is attached to the placenta which is removed after the birth.

13. it comes out along with the placenta
