Whartons Jelly is the gelatin-like mucus that gives the umbilical cord an elastic effect, so it can tolerate the bending, stretching and twisting of an active baby.
Umbilical cords without much Wharton’s jelly are more prone to compression and complete absence is usually associated with fetal death.

Wharton's Jelly content: Umbilical cords can be large (thick) and exceed an average of 4cm in circumference, especially at the umbilicus.
The average weight is 15 gms/ 10 cm at term and dependent on male gender, prepregnancy maternal weight and birthweight.(8) Umbilical cord swellings at the attachment to the fetus should be examined before cutting and clamping the cord.

At initial exam I appreciated a 2"circumfrence, 1.5" deep navel opening with a tenuos insertion of cord to the abdomen.
The last 1.5" of cord were the 3 vessels only, no whartons jelly.
The condition where the wharton's jelly stops short of the placenta is called Velamentous Cord, but I never heard of it stopping short at the other end, or anything else you describe.

The umbilical cord is a unique tissue consisting of two arteries and one vein covered by a mucoid connective tissue known as Whartons Jelly, which is covered by a thin layer of mucous membrane (a continuation of the amnion).
Maybe J Barr (1984) was right when she postulated that; 'Whartons Jelly may possess an, as yet, unknown factor, that is essential to the natural healing process'.
It certainly seems to be true that the use of treatments on the umbilical cord, appears to interrupt and prolong the natural process of cord separation.

The cord also becomes the conduit of an ongoing exchange, a silent conversation, where hormones from the mother and the baby signal changes in each other's bodies.
The umbilical cord consists of three blood vessels — two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein — embedded in slippery connective tissue called Wharton's jelly.
The arteries spiral around the vein, giving the cord the toughness of a cable.

Epidurals and IV Syntocinon can cause fetal distress.
Cords around the babies neck and body happen a lot (I would see it at least twice a week) and rarely cause fetal distress, due to the whartons jelly that protect the cords vessels from the uterine contractions.
Being upright in labour is one helpful way of helping to engage the babies head, which is difficult when you've had an epidural.
