Breathtaking photo of a baby delivered via c-section but was still inside the amniotic sac! The amniotic sac is an opaque bubble that covers all babies in the womb from right after conception. As the baby grows, it fills with fluid, amniotic fluid. The sac cushions the baby from bumps and jostles during mom's daily ups and downs.It is rare for a baby to be born with the sac still completely intact as most sacs split open during labour on their own, releasing its protective fluid. This is what people mean when they refer to a mother's waters breaking. In some situations the sac is broken by the doctor when a woman is ready to give birth. BN
