Miracle Baby Born Still Inside Its Amniotic Sac

This is the remarkable moment a baby was born – inside its amniotic sac. The amniotic sac, commonly called the bag of waters or sometimes the membranes,is the sac in which the fetus develops in amniotes. It is a thin but tough transparent pair of membranes that hold a developing embryo and later fetus until shortly before birth. The inner of these fetal membranes, the amnion, encloses the amniotic cavity, containing the amniotic fluid and the fetus. The outer membrane, the chorion, contains the amnion and is part of the placenta. On the outer side, the amniotic sac is connected to the yolk sac, to the allantois and, through the umbilical cord, to the placenta. 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 caesarean and remarkably Silas Johnson, whose entry into the world was just a 1 in 80,000 occurrence, is now a healthy ten-week-old. In the Video footage, the tiny boy born in Carlifonia was shown yawning inside his amniotic sac, before being freed by a doctor. He was also wriggling around and moving his arm until a doctor snipped the amniotic sac open and the baby comes out with a little cry as he takes his first breath.
