Did you cut before the first pip? Sometimes a baby will want to come out just because the egg is cut and it has a way out. If you cut early this can happen.
I did have one baby last year though that did not absorb the yolk. Plus he came out right away and pulled the umbilicus area so bad that some of his insides came out. The umbilicus detached but his belly button didn't close after I gently put him back together. I had to do it again the following day and wrap a small bandaid around him. The bandaid came off 2 days later and the area had closed up nicely since it was rather small. I was grateful it was small enough that i didn't need to give it a helper stitch.
The point is, these things can happen even if you don't cut early. A non absorbed yolk is really no big deal as long as the baby starts eating not long after it sheds.
