Rare footage of a baby being born while still inside its fully intact amniotic sac has gone viral, clocking up more than 41 million views on Facebook, leaving online users wowed by the incredible video.

The video, recorded in Sao Paulo, Brazil, shows the newborn baby on the delivery table still with the caul after being delivered by caesarean section.

The child is seen partially emerged from his mother’s belly, still in the sac. Doctors and nurses play with the baby by poking his feet.

The baby is seen moving inside, the umbilical cord wrapped around his face.

A nurse at Santa Casa de Misericórdia Hospital in Barretos, Gisele Correa, originally posted the clip, describing it as a“beautiful historic moment.” Amazingly, the baby emerged along with his twin, who didn’t have a sac.

Since then footage of the birth has been shared and viewed millions of time by audiences all over the world.

It’s considered a rare phenomenon for a baby to be born in inside the amniotic sac, as it usually breaks during labor, occurring at a rate of one in 80,000 births.

According to Babies Online, the boys’ mother said after watching the video: “For me, the image shows the power of God. I feel very blessed to have my children, who were born perfect.”
