nothing. actually is recommended that the cord to be left uncut after the birth, until he stops pulsating. unfortunately the doctors at the hospital are rushing everything: the birth, the cut of the ombilical cord, elimination of the placenta.

Does the placenta help form the umbilical cord?
No, they are not. The umbilical cord is an actual cord that connects the baby to the placenta. The placenta is the lining of the uterus that is developed over the course of the pregnancy. The placenta is a "filter" through which the baby's food and oxygen is delivered via the umbilical cord. Once the baby is born, the umbilical cord is clipped and severed. The final, 3rd stage of labor, is the passing of the placenta. That happens 15-30 minutes after the baby is born. The placenta is then checked thoroughly, to ensure that is in intact, and that no pieces are left behind in the uterus. This is VERY important, because if any of the placenta is left in the uterus, it will cause an infection, high fever, can lead to infertility. If not removed, the outcome can be lethal.
Why does the stump protrude after umbilical cord falls off?
The developing fetus is changing in size and shape, some more than others. Since it is not directly attached to the uterine wall, it can move about within the amniotic fluid of the womb, and can assume a variety of orientations. The umbillical cord has to be able to remain connected despite these positional changes, and to provide oxygen to the fetus as it moves outward through the birth canal during labor. Once the baby leaves the womb, the umbilical cord is cut, and the remaining cord is removed (part of the afterbirth).
