Baby biting umbilical cord while in the womb

Is this normal ?
I recently had a 5D sonogram, we were able to see my daughter move, grab and put the umbilical cord in her mouth.
Is there any symptoms I should expect from her doing this ?
Curious & concerned

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

No need to be concerned at all, baby cant do any damage to it after they need scissors to cut it after birth lol.
they often play with it. I had a normal scan at 25 weeks and baby was cuddling his cord. The sonographer said they often do as they are testing out grabbing things and playing. X

Mine loves pulling on it. Doesnt to anything really. Just watch out if you have a scan and the little bugger does it. It happened to me and I needed to having 4 additional scans for a reduced blood flow reading in the cord but it was just the little bugger being an ass!

The baby isnt strong enough or have any teeth for there to be any damage.

Its just very cute I think!
