The breathtaking video of an ‘en caul’ birth you’ve got to see

It was quite the grand entrance.

A video of a baby born "en-caul" - inside the entire amniotic sac - has been captivating fans of the FemaleWellnes page on Instagram. The incredible footage shows the baby inside the unbroken membrane and still breathing through the placenta, something that occurs less than one in 80,000 births.

The caption of the post, entitled 'Unwrapping a Baby' explains:

'Most ECB's births are premature and some doctors have observed that this type of birth can protect a newborn from the mechanical pressure of overly strong uterine contractions. It has been suggested that En Caul C-section deliveries might be advisable for extremely fragile premature babies.' 'Seeing moments like this captured can really put the blessing of life into perspective for all of us!'

We couldn't agree more.
