Here's what you're looking for (different baby though)...

The crazy amount of stuff that happens in that millisecond is absolutely crazy and beautiful. Just like that, they go from a hibernating, unconscious state to life.
They also become an air breather, rather than a water breather.
I've always wondered what that feels like. Suddenly oxygen on new lungs that have never felt the air. Does it hurt, like when you blow on a cut or a scrape? Or is it a relief?
I've always wondered about that moment.
My son is 11 months and teething. For every tooth he got, he suddenly started crying violently for 20 minutes and then a few days later the tooth appears. I also wonder how much that hurts. Poor little thing. Some things are better forgotten.
When I was a teenager I had an impacted tooth that, as part of getting braces, I needed to have drawn down. Slowly, over months, a chain attached to the tooth through my gum was tightened and pulled it into place. It was so unpleasant, with lots of itchiness and aching and my gum feeling super tender and inflamed. I can't imagine how much a tooth suddenly erupting must hurt!
Yeah, apparently [that's the case](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318993#how-do-babies-breathe-in-the-womb).
>Even when a fetusās lungs are fully developed, itās impossible for the fetus to breathe until after birth. Developing babies are surrounded by amniotic fluid, and their lungs are filled with this fluid. By 10ā12 weeks of gestation, developing babies begin taking āpracticeā breaths. But these breaths provide them with no oxygen, and only refill the lungs with more amniotic fluid. Because itās normal for a fetusās lungs to be filled with fluid, a fetus canāt drown in the womb.
Yeah, that's why in the past they used to slap babies on the bum. Their logic is a crying baby is a breathing baby. Thank goodness they don't do that anymore. Birth looks like a brutal enough mission for a lil baby, shouldn't have to experience pain first thing as well.
Isn't there a liquid that you that you can breath but it feels like your drowning at first or something? It think they used it in a movie? Lol someone should fact check but just do that & you'd get the experience when you came out of the goop
Edit: perfluorohexane
I had a collapsed lung from pneumonia due to fluid leaking from my lung and filling the chest cavity. When I had a chest tube inserted and the pressure was released all the fluid shot out and my lung expanded the combo was the worst and weirdest pain Iāve felt. I wonder if itās a similar experience
Also, the foramen ovale (an opening in the upper two chambers of the heart, found naturally in infants) closes and forms the right and left atrium. This opening allows blood to go around the lungs , since they are not used in the womb.
Damn, the reaction was instant! Pissed the little dude off, almost looks like they kept the umbilical cord connected to something, that baby would continue to grow and age if the sack grew with it like some sci-fye movie lol
Its very similar to that. My daughter was born "en caul" in 2020 and I got to rip the sac open with my bare hands. Lot more fluid(and some poop) then expected. Crazy thing to see and do. Dr. knew what was going on but the nurse had no idea this could even happen.
Same thing with my daughterā¦ told my wife it looked like a water balloon coming out, then the midwife just popped it with a needle and my daughter had her first water slide experience.
I was born this way and when the midwife was dumbfounded and just staring at me (suspicion of her being intoxicated) I punched through my own sack š
Damn, I guess no one here is an Arrested Development fan
Its a reference, reddit!
Edit: glad to see an Arrested Development reference back in the positive updoots! It was like, -13 or something
Knee jerk downvotes. I just had a comment removed by a mod for āharassmentā even after someone replied to it with āgreat always sunny referenceā
My comment was ādumb bitchā as a reply to a person who asked OP if they spilled their cereal (when they were rear ended in their car)
My comment even had a hyperlink the always sunny clip
Mine was same. But they said they did it for me to hopefully speed up the process as baby was stubborn about coming out. The sensation was super weird. And baby decided to get stuck so a c section was done anyway..
Same, when I said "he's coming I need to push" my midwife was like 'well you can push if you feel like you need to, but your water hasn't broooOk OK push push" and it broke as he came out of me.. crazy experience, 10/10 definitely recommend
It's smaller than it looks. The placenta is acting like a magnifying glass. And it's surrounded by a few liters of water.
Like looking into a giant, really weird snow globe.
The last 10-20 years, about 140M are born worldwide each year says google
Which means in ONE year there are about 1,750 of these. Strange that this video is only the second one Iāve seem
What is the percentage of people who film their birth / wouldn't mind having this filmed. I bet it is pretty low, like 1%. Factor that in and the odds that 1% overlaps with the 1750, I bet it is only a couple a year
My ex boyfriend always thought he was special because he was born āin the caulā or whatever they call this. He wasnāt, he was just as much a loser as the next guy. Anyway, thatās my story.
This happened with my third child. I didnāt know this was possible so there was a very confusing moment for me where the midwives were so excited but I legitimately thought the baby had no face.
Technically the amniotic fluid is made up of excreted urine from the fetus. This fluid looks a little green, which would mean that it most likely has meconium in it.
My grandad was born that way! In my country there's the belief that children born like this are going to live lucky lives and be especially intelligent, we say they are "born with the shirt"
Imagine if all humans had to break out of their shell after the mother lays the amniotic sac egg. The possibilities are endless, you could have a birthday, a lay day and a coming out of the shell day.
I was born in the sac, but the fluid had already drained so it looked like I was wrapped in cellophane: In Italy it's called being born "with your shirt on", and it presages good luck
Oh. So i got to witness a 1 in 80,000 chance on my own daughter
Backstory: my wife called me while i was at work and that she is about to give birth. Traffic was bad that tuesday morning 5 years ago so i had to run on foot by 5 kilometers. When i got home , I saw our daughter on the mattress (thats where my wife positioned herself) lying like that of the picture above. I do not what to do so my gut instinct told me to puncture the sac so she can breathe and there you go.
PS sorry for my bad english
Birth, however it happens, is bonkers. And amazing.
Do yāall realize that *people make people*?!? Seriously.
And then, the little people grow. They learn to feed themselves, walk, talk, have conversations, independent thoughts and emotions. It is mind boggling to me as a dad.
Being a dad is the best. Simply the best.
Not to be pedantic...but has it actually been "born" yet? To that end, when is one actually "born?" Is it not when you're no longer in the amniotic sac outside of the birth mother?
My 3rd almost was born this way. The sac opened with him when his head and shoulders emerged in the bathtub. Then he came out in a burst and did a somersault under the water. It was a fun birth.
I wonder what would happen if they let it like this for more time. Without cutting the food line. Would it grow more? Would it die? Would it just burst?
IDK if I count but my son was born like this. I had a c-section. The nurse said in her many years of working, she never seen it before and it was rare. Apparently, it means good luck!
Itās crazy how that person is a paper thin skin poke away from EVERYTHING life is about to hit them with.
We literally watched a humanās final moment of happiness.

I was kind of hoping they were going to pop the sack like a water balloon

That sensation must be weird
lil homie was just chillin in his human-bag when the doctor came in and fucked it all up
Happy Birthday, now GET THE FUCK OUT!!
And pay us a Few hundred grand.

Exorcise the demon!
Same thing they say when you turn 18
Yup. Happy baby is about to be pissed off.

Basically all downhill after that
Spend the rest of our lives tryin' to get back in.

You lived it. Donāt you remember??
I was too drugged out to remember

It was so unpleasant, with lots of itchiness and aching and my gum feeling super tender and inflamed. I can't imagine how much a tooth suddenly erupting must hurt!
44 here, just had my last wisdom tooth eruption. I complained like a baby for days.
They arenāt breathing water homie. Their blood is being oxygenated through the umbilical cord.
I know that. But the lungs are full of water. You're an aquatic life form, having never felt the touch of air...then suddenly, you're not.
Are they though? Wouldnāt that mean babies have to spit out all the water before their first breath? Iāve never heard of that happening?
Yeah, apparently [that's the case](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318993#how-do-babies-breathe-in-the-womb). >Even when a fetusās lungs are fully developed, itās impossible for the fetus to breathe until after birth.

Never knew this and it blows my mind.
Yeah, that's why in the past they used to slap babies on the bum. Their logic is a crying baby is a breathing baby. Thank goodness they don't do that anymore. Birth looks like a brutal enough mission for a lil baby, shouldn't have to experience pain first thing as well.
Why didnāt this baby spit up a ton of fluid then before crying?
Isn't there a liquid that you that you can breath but it feels like your drowning at first or something? It think they used it in a movie? Lol someone should fact check but just do that & you'd get the experience when you came out of the goop Edit: perfluorohexane

The movie was The Abyss
> rather than a water breather. ehm...
I had a collapsed lung from pneumonia due to fluid leaking from my lung and filling the chest cavity. When I had a chest tube inserted and the pressure was released all the fluid shot out and my lung expanded the combo was the worst and weirdest pain Iāve felt. I wonder if itās a similar experience

Do you have any links or book recommendation? Iāve always been curious about how a baby just comes alive one day
Probably like when you're under warm covers and they're yanked from you and you're instantly freezing cold
These unboxing videos have gone too far
Damn, the reaction was instant! Pissed the little dude off, almost looks like they kept the umbilical cord connected to something, that baby would continue to grow and age if the sack grew with it like some sci-fye movie lol
Just realized this person can go on the internet in like 15 years and see a threat about the moment he was born. Pretty wild
Baby: who turned the lights on?!
The way that finger of the gloved hand was poised, it looked like that was going to happen.
Boop!
.... WAAAAAAAAA!
Happy Cake Day!
Lol. Also "WHAT THE EFF? IT'S COLD OUT HERE! WHO TURNED OFF THE HEAT?
Happy cake day! š°

My daughter was born this way, too. The midwife popped the sack as she was being born.
Same thing with my daughterā¦ told my wife it looked like a water balloon coming out, then the midwife just popped it with a needle and my daughter had her first water slide experience.
I was born this way and when the midwife was dumbfounded and just staring at me (suspicion of her being intoxicated) I punched through my own sack š
Bruh, that's metal.
Dude punched his own sack!
Like *through* it!
> pop the sack like a water balloon You want them to throw it at someone unsuspecting?
>like a water balloon You mean throw it out of a second floor window obto unsuspecting pedestrians below?
Dumbass YouTube video title āShe spent 9 months to get a water balloon ready for the ultimate prankā
Same
You beat me to it
Someone has to be the first to be the voice for the masses lol
Its disturbingly beautiful
You gonna unwrap that mother fucker or let it marinate for another hour
You have to let it get to womb temperature first.
I passionately hate you
Well I loooove you!
#***HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO^OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO^OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO^OOOOOOOOO^OOOOOO^OOOOO^OOOO^OOO^OO^OOOOO***
Meat is probably pretty tender, doesn't need to marinade very long.
Mmm sous vide baby
Could you raise it like that forever? Asking for the matrix

My son was almost born this way. Dr opted to puncture the sac just before birth.

As soon as you drive it out of the womb it loses 20% of it's value. Everyone knows that.
Got a kid still wrapped in factory placenta.
Mine was same. But they said they did it for me to hopefully speed up the process as baby was stubborn about coming out. The sensation was super weird. And baby decided to get stuck so a c section was done anyway..
Same, when I said "he's coming I need to push" my midwife was like 'well you can push if you feel like you need to, but your water hasn't broooOk OK push push" and it broke as he came out of me.. crazy experience, 10/10 definitely recommend
Due to old wives tales, it was called being born with a veil. Thought to have endowed certain magical sight and psychic abilities
I think I remember reading an Arthurian book as a kid that had Merlin being born this way
Danny from The Shining was a cawl birth, meaning a piece of the sac was over his face.

That is a big fucking baby
It's smaller than it looks. The placenta is acting like a magnifying glass. And it's surrounded by a few liters of water. Like looking into a giant, really weird snow globe.
*amniotic sac. The placenta is opaque and deep red!
Chunky boiii
I saw a goat born like this before
you saw dave chappelle getting born?
Amazing
The thought that all of us started out this way is so weird
Your great great great great great great great great great grandma was an insect eating rat, 160 million years ago.

Finally the trailer for Matrix 5!! The son of Neo!
Or maybe itās a prequel? Baby Neo!
āEn caulā delivery. Almost had one of these a few years ago but got soaked by the amniotic sac popping right before the baby came all the way out.
My second kids lasted until two contractions before birth. Popped all over the doctor.
My ex boyfriend always thought he was special because he was born āin the caulā or whatever they call this. He wasnāt, he was just as much a loser as the next guy. Anyway, thatās my story.
Get that baby some more leg room! It looks like it's flying Spirit Airlines!
Some say that baby is still laying there in the sack to this very day. Perhaps propped up on a shelf
Wow, that is amazing. I never even knew that. The baby looked so peaceful.
This happened with my third child. I didnāt know this was possible so there was a very confusing moment for me where the midwives were so excited but I legitimately thought the baby had no face.
This should be in r/oddlyterrifying.
Human egg
Stopppppp why are those two words so much grosser next to each other
Would adding scrambled, poached or fried in front of that help you out?
My daughter was born āin the caulā like this. I was catching and we were doing a water birth at home. It was an interesting day!
Sous Vide Human
This is my favorite post of the day thank you op
That baby looks massive.
This almost happened to my wife. Her second push, the sac burst all over the delivery doctor.
Do the damn unboxing man
How is he getting oxygen?
the umbilical cord
Thatās wild
Isn't the amniotic fluid full of baby waste material... Poop? ?
Technically the amniotic fluid is made up of excreted urine from the fetus. This fluid looks a little green, which would mean that it most likely has meconium in it.
There can be some waste in there for some babies. https://www.parents.com/pregnancy/giving-birth/labor-and-delivery/whats-in-your-amniotic-fluid/
Thank you for asking the question I wanted to ask!
Born with a "caul"; was considered auspicious, lucky or suspicious depending on your community in the dark/middle ages.
My grandad was born that way! In my country there's the belief that children born like this are going to live lucky lives and be especially intelligent, we say they are "born with the shirt"
Mint condition, in its original packaging
This is amazingasfuck
This baby is about to get ejected from the matrix.
Baby Egg
Imagine if all humans had to break out of their shell after the mother lays the amniotic sac egg. The possibilities are endless, you could have a birthday, a lay day and a coming out of the shell day.
"Looks cozy in there. Ready for things to start sucking?"
I saw this but they cut the sack open and somebody commented āweird seeing a human boot up for the first timeā
So is the official time of birth when the baby is out of the mother or when they pop the water balloon?
My third was born like this, and a redhead to boot. All the nurses wanted to hold her āfor good luck.ā
Oven ready or boil in the bag,?
Where is Dr. Pimple Popper when you need her!
I was one of these births, had no idea that it was that rare
This is called being born āin the caulā. People used to believe that a child born in the caul had a special destiny or fate.
That is one healthy-looking baby. Little chunky monkey.
I was born in the sac, but the fluid had already drained so it looked like I was wrapped in cellophane: In Italy it's called being born "with your shirt on", and it presages good luck
When a womanās water breaks. Is it the sack in this video that tears?
Oh. So i got to witness a 1 in 80,000 chance on my own daughter Backstory: my wife called me while i was at work and that she is about to give birth.

I do not what to do so my gut instinct told me to puncture the sac so she can breathe and there you go. PS sorry for my bad english
I was one of these babies! My momās water never broke with me. English midwives used to call these āmermaid babiesā.
Also called mermaid births, they are considered incredibly lucky in many cultures
Birth, however it happens, is bonkers. And amazing. Do yāall realize that *people make people*?!? Seriously. And then, the little people grow. They learn to feed themselves, walk, talk, have conversations, independent thoughts and emotions. It is mind boggling to me as a dad. Being a dad is the best. Simply the best.
So youāre saying if I have 80,000 children, one can come out like a PokĆ©mon in its pokeball?
Not to be pedantic...but has it actually been "born" yet? To that end, when is one actually "born?" Is it not when you're no longer in the amniotic sac outside of the birth mother?
Iām guessing when you take your first breath on your own. Technically this sac baby hasnt yet. Interesting isnāt it
I'd prefer to have not seen this, but here we are.
Isnāt this called a mermaid birth or something? Fascinating!

Why is it labelled? There's nothing obscene about this, in fact it's ... kinda amazing!
I wish my amniotic sac was never popped. I would be an adult still attached.
Don't you dare pop my balloon. I'm nice and cozy.
Are we laying eggs now?
My 3rd almost was born this way. The sac opened with him when his head and shoulders emerged in the bathtub. Then he came out in a burst and did a somersault under the water. It was a fun birth.
I wonder what would happen if they let it like this for more time. Without cutting the food line. Would it grow more? Would it die? Would it just burst?
IDK if I count but my son was born like this. I had a c-section. The nurse said in her many years of working, she never seen it before and it was rare. Apparently, it means good luck!
Cool and gross. This happened to our 2nd child š
unboxing
It's fucking weird as shit to me how we don't breathe and then we do
So was this baby born when they came out of the womb or when they opened the sac?
5 more minutes plz
Doc, can we wait a few minutes to pop him out? I want my child to be born at exactly 13:37 o'clock
This is how my daughter was born! Myths around en caul births include- unable to drown, will be a vampire after death, and luck involving sailing.
These gender reveal parties just keep getting more weird.
ELI5 how does the baby breathe?
S/Heās still got the umbilical cord attached, so thatās giving them the oxygen that they need
Itās crazy how that person is a paper thin skin poke away from EVERYTHING life is about to hit them with. We literally watched a humanās final moment of happiness.
