You'll need three umbilical cord items. To my knowledge, there are four in the game.
-The easiest one to get is from the Wet Nurse boss near the end of the main story. You'll encounter this boss as part of the normal progression loop.
-You can snag another one from the Old Workshop, by watching this video.

-A third can be obtained from the NPC in the clinic. The first three minutes of this video will show you the route. When you reach the end of the line the NPC should be lying on an operating table, talking about a great deal of pain. Kill the character and grab the cord. If they are not lying on the table do not attack or kill them -- come back later after defeating more bosses until they are in the right location and not hostile.

-The last known cord is from another NPC. Find Arianna in the Cathedral Ward and tell her to return to the chapel. Later in the game she will give birth down the ladder behind the lamp -- you can get a cord here.
Contrary to popular belief, you do not need the Yharnam Stone from the Chalice Dungeons to trigger the true ending. You only need to consume three cords before you fight the boss in Hunter's Dream, after defeating the Wet Nurse.
