PHOTOS: Incredible Moment A Baby Was Born Inside Amniotic Sac

It was an incredibly rare, confronting, and beautiful moment all at once. A baby was born while still inside its fully intact amniotic sac, known as the caul, something estimated to occur in one in every 80,000 births.

The video was taken in Spain and captured the rare moment the baby was born with the membrane covering its entire body, just minutes after its twin was delivered normally.

The little thing was seen lying on a hospital table, curled up inside the clear sac which is tightly stretched around its body. Moving occasionally, it is clearly visible inside the sac with the blue umbilical cord, through which the baby is receiving oxygen, easily distinguishable.

With its movements increasing regularity, the infant is seemingly ready to escape the sac and meet its sibling.

Normally, the amniotic sac is broken during the strenuous process of childbirth or is pierced with a scalpel during a caesarean.

Earlier this year, another baby, also from Spain, was captured on video being born inside the amniotic sac.

In that instance, the doctor used a pair of surgical scissors to cut a small hole in the sac, causing the baby to spill out soon after.
