What happens to the umbilical when the baby is born?

Soon after birth the umbilical cord is clamped about 7 to 10mm from the infant's abdomen, the cord is then cut, separating the new born from the placenta. The baby will wear a cord tie or a plastic cord clamp until the cut edge has sufficiently sealed. The remaining cord stump will continue to dry for about 7 to 10 days when it will naturally drop off, the remnant becoming one's belly button.

How does a baby get oxygen once the waters break?

The oxygen still comes through the placenta and umbilical cord just as it has all pregnancy. The cord and placenta are within the bag and attached to the mother so nothing changes in that regard. The supply of oxygen is only cut off from this source when the cord is cut, after the baby has been born for a while, or if the cord or placenta are damaged or constricted.
