no the little one is sucking the thumb, and the baby can survive like thta for days,, the baby would have been perfectly fine, in cases on ceseran you can do this =-)

That stuff is really hard to clean off/up..some new parents may have to deal with the stuff first one or two poopy diaper changes (how often is the word "poopy" used on DR? ) And it is sticky..like tar.

Scrolling through and coming to the post here, I noticed someone said about the original poster's first pic, and the baby being stillborn aswell..
Wasn't sure how to take it from name of post if the baby was "stillborn"..or "born still in the sac"
Thinking about it..makes more sense now that the first one was stillborn aswell.

its a protective layer all babies are born with,, its there to keep them warm and free from bateria,, thye used to wash it off, but they advice to leave it as long as you can =-)

Babies can breath in the sac, no need to take him/her out yet. The Dr probably wanted to document it.

Babies can be born still in their amniotic sac with no difficulties. It's also called being born with a 'Caul', and used to be associated with special abilities for the child.

I gave birth vaginally to my son still in the amniotic sac. He was and is perfectly healthy and the birth itself was normal. I wish I got pictures, but he was all the way out before they cut the sac.

My son was stillborn. If I started bitching that something like this is on the internet because it triggers deep emotional things that lead me to feel offended by it I would be an asshole and a hypocrite. So I'm gonna represent the more evolved and not do that and simply look at the DR logo one more time and remember what site I was on to find things like this in the first place and that I was here because I wanted to be here. That and I'm proving to my dad(sitting next to me) right now that I'm an honest and fair man in spite of the fact that I have some unorthodox interests in life that are in no way his fault. It was simply gonna happen.
In other words,shut up Dad. My house,My computer,My rules. As long as you are under my roof you will respect me.
