They are very rare cases: only one in 80,000 babies born do so with the entire membranes, without breaking. That is why this photo is going around the Network: the photo of the baby born with the intact amniotic sac.
Good because it has broken waters, well because it has broken in the hospital, the amniotic sac, that thin two-membrane covering that covers the fetus is usually broken. That is why this unusual image that has been shared more than 23,000 times on Facebook in a few days is surprising.
Specifically, we see it on Facebook of “Marie Jeanne, accompagnante à la naissance”, which indicates that the origin of the photo comes from a Tumblr that in turn refers to another Tumblr, “Katiohead”, which maintains a midwife of Oregon and where no further information is given on the date or place of delivery.
It really is a unique moment, and very short, since the baby born in this way immediately breaks the amniotic sac to be able to cut and clamp the cord.
Is about a "veiled delivery", which is very rare and can happen in natural birth or by caesarean section (as it seems that it was the one in the photo). Seeing the baby immersed in the amniotic fluid, as it was a few minutes ago in the womb, is impressive.
Here we can see another example of a baby born with the amniotic sac intact after a C-section, even in the picture the baby seems to be seen sucking his finger inside the sack. In this other case we have the video of a vaginal birth in the water and the baby born in his amniotic bag.
If the rhythms of childbirth were respected more in hospitals and did not occur as regularly the rupture of membranes artificially, maybe we would be more accustomed to this image.
Recall that there is research to ensure that artificial rupture of the bag does not imply faster delivery and WHO argues that early artificial rupture of membranes is not justified as a routine procedure.
It really seems to me Awesome photo of the baby that was born with the amniotic sac intact, I am not surprised that it is being a phenomenon on the internet that adds to those incredible images that occasionally come to us.
