A doctor has recorded the moment he  delivered a baby inside an intact amniotic sac.

The photo was taken by Obstetrician ,  Aris Tsigris after he delivered a baby through caesarean section. He uploaded the photo on Facebook.

According to the doctor, because the sac had had not been punctured, the baby did not even realise it had been born and behaved as if it was still inside the mother’s womb.

Daily Mail reports:

The amniotic sac is a bag of fluid inside the womb where the unborn baby develops and grows. It is also referred to as the ‘membranes’, because the sac is made of two membranes called the amnion and the chorion.

The sac is filled with clear, pale fluid, in which the unborn baby floats and moves.

The fluid helps to cushion the baby from bumps and injury, as well as providing them with fluids that they can breathe and swallow. The fluid also maintains a constant temperature for the baby.

The amniotic sac starts to form and fill with fluid within days of a woman conceiving. 

Amniotic fluid is mainly water but from about week 10 onwards, the baby passes small amounts of urine into the fluid.

The amount of amniotic fluid increases gradually during pregnancy until about week 38, when it reduces slightly until the baby is born.

Typically the amniotic sac breaks on its own during birth, which is commonly referred to as a mother’s ‘water breaking’.

Dr Tsigris that the chance of the amniotic sac remaining completely intact after birth was ‘ultra rare’ and he was left ‘breathless’ by the sight of the newborn born on March 12, according to a report by Nine News.

The doctor said there was no risk to the baby as it was still feeding off the placenta and would begin to breathe as soon as the sac was broken.

The photo has since been shared more than 8000 times.

Actress Jessica Alba has spoken out about her daughter Haven who was born inside the amniotic sac in 2011.

She said at the time: ‘The doctor had never seen anything like it before. He grabbed the nurse and said: “Look at this!”.

‘I was in the middle of pushing and he told me to hold on a minute and not to push. 

‘He was wearing basketball shorts and a T-shirt and said: ‘Oh I have to get my scrubs on for this!’ The sac burst on its own after she came out. It was a trip.’

In fact Jessica’s experience inspired Haven’s name.

She explained: ‘When I was in recovery we still hadn’t chosen her name. [Her father Cash Warren] picked her up and said she came into the world in her ‘safe haven’ and [her name] clicked right then for both of us.’
