Here are pictures of our little ones cords. Their was one very distinguishable knot and a twist beneath it. Later I was able to touch and examine the knot. It was very tight. I'm not sure how blood and nutrients traveled through it, but it did. It is truly a miracle that my babies not only survived, but thrived with their cords like this.

Wharton's jelly is an amazing, amazing thing, isn't it? I just posted on MDC asking if they were all tangled! LOL! I am fascinated by such things.
seeing those cords are always a bit sobering - and what a confirmation as to the true miracles we have. blessings,
My boys cords looked very similar in our picture. The surgery report noted at least 7 knots, but by the time we saw them they were mostly untangled with one remaining knot. Wish I could have touched it like you! :)
