This is the remarkable moment a baby was born
– inside its amniotic sac.
The tiny baby was born 26 weeks prematurely,
with its placenta and umbilical cord still inside the bag of fluid.
He had to be removed by a ceasarean. Remarkably
Silas Johnson, whose entry into the world was just a 1 in 80,000 occurrence, is
now a healthy ten-week-old.
Video footage showed the tiny child, who was
born in California, yawning inside his amniotic sac, before being freed by a
doctor.
He can even be seen wriggling around and
moving his arms. A doctor can later be seen snipping the
amniotic sac open. As the baby comes out he gives a little cry as he takes his
first breath.
