Being born with the amniotic sac intact is a very rare situation. They say it happens in one of every 80,000 births and is called "veiled delivery" or "veiled delivery." However, be born with the amniotic sac without breaking and going out with the placenta, all at once, as if it were a pack, must be, without a doubt, more than improbable.
This is what you see in the image you have below, an amazing photo of a baby born early and left as you see it. That amazing. The history? I tell you below.
It happened in Papua New Guinea, where Erin Meier, an American doctor, has been a missionary for several years. She explains in her blog that on March 30, 2008, after a weekend guard, a 27-week pregnant woman arrived with vaginal bleeding. At first he thought he had placenta previa, but on ultrasound they saw that the placenta was well positioned.
Valuing the mother and the baby they saw that they were stable, so they opted for the most reasonable in that case, monitor and wait. While waiting, the woman began to bleed more and the baby's pulsations decreased a little. The woman explained that she wanted to push, Meier chose to make a vaginal touch to see how the cervix was and felt what she thought the placenta was.
This completely changed the strategy to follow and a moment came out to explain the case to a partner and decide how to act. At that moment the nurses, who were with the mother, warned that the baby was born, leaving the head first and then the rest of the body. The surprise for everyone is that the baby came out as you see in the photo, inside the bag and with the placenta, which had come off.
The mother stopped bleeding, they opened the bag and took care of the baby, who began to breathe spontaneously. They wrapped him up and gave him warmth and oxygen to welcome the child born in one of the most amazing ways I've ever seen.
