WATCH Incredible moment Baby born in Amniotic Sac is cut open

Incredible moment a baby who was born still inside its amniotic sac takes its first breath on camera.

 

The amniotic sac is a bag of clear, pale fluid inside the womb where the unborn baby develops and grows. The fluid helps to cushion the baby from bumps and injury, as well as providing it with fluids it can breathe and swallow. It also maintains a constant temperature for the baby. 

 

Typically the amniotic sac breaks on its own during birth, which is commonly referred to as a mother's 'water breaking'. watch video after cut

The unidentified baby's face, hands and feet were clearly visible as it lay inside its cramped home for nine months. Curled up inside with the placenta and umbilical cord, the obstetrician can be seen wiping the amniotic sac with a cloth while saying 'hola' to the baby in Spanish.

But in this rare case, the sac is completely in tact and has to be deliberately burst by the waiting medical team. 

 

Excited staff can be heard cooing over the baby, which is just moments from taking its first breath in the world, caught on camera and uploaded to Facebook by Jasmine Perez.
