No. It does not hurt. The cord does not have any nerves, so therefore there will be no pain. Also, it is not vital any longer. Once the cord has stopped pulsing, usually after 5-20 minutes after giving birth, the cord can then be cut. Neither the baby nor the mother will feel the cutting. It seems like it would hurt but that is only because the cord itself is very thick and tough. The only way to cut it would be to use a sharp instument. That is what makes it look so painful.

Why on earth do you have a belly button?
When a baby is growing inside its mother, it's not able to breath or eat like you do - instead, it gets its air and nutrients straight from Mom through a tube connected to its belly. This tube is called an "umbilical cord," and is where our belly buttons (also called "navels") come from.After the baby is born, a doctor will cut the umbilical cord since the baby can now breathe and eat on it's own. (Don't worry, there are no nerves in the umbilical cord so cutting it doesn't hurt the baby!) Within a few days the stump will dry up and fall off on its own, and what's left behind is the baby's very first scar: a belly button!
