Amniotic Sac Delivery
Rare video of babies being born in the amniotic bladder. One out of 80,000 births occurs this way.

Re: Amniotic Sac Delivery
I've wondered when seeing these. Does the time of birth that goes on the paperwork go by the time the baby is out of the mom? Or when this happens does it get marked as the time the sac is opened. Cause technically the baby is still living via the mothers body. The baby is getting oxygen via the umbilical cord until the sac is opened. If they pulled the baby out, but left it in the sac for 30 minutes, what time goes on the certificates?

Re: Amniotic Sac Delivery
What a thought provoking question. Your intuition is correct. The moment the baby is removed from the sac, that is the time of delivery.

Re: Amniotic Sac Delivery
Thanks- makes me wonder how long someone would leave a baby in a sac and why. I get that people do delayed cord clamping, but do you think there is any reason to delay something in a case like this? Considering how rare it is, I don't know if there would be any information about it.

Re: Amniotic Sac Delivery
Not quite. The baby is getting oxygen via the cord until it is clamped after birth or if the placenta separates from the uterus prior to birth. Early placental separation is termed placental abruption and has dire consequences (obviously). Back to the topic though, preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) can occur as early as the mid-20s for weeks gestation. When PPROM occurs prior to weeks 36-37 the pregnancy can be managed expectantly (ie infant not delivered) as long as there are no signs of intrauterine infection, placental abruption, concerning fetal heart tones, or other concern regarding pregnancy outcome. Even with a rupture sac the infant is still getting oxygen via the cord.
