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.
