Seeing your baby being born is one thing, but watching him wriggle out of your womb on his own? That’s pretty much unheard of-especially given that, until recently, most C-sections involved a sterile sheet blocking the mother’s view. But British mom Sarah Saunders did just that thanks to a new(ish) method of childbirth known as a natural caesarean.
Saunders recently shared footage from her experience on YouTube; so far it has been viewed more than 180,000 times. In it, Saunders appears relaxed and happy, often laughing and chatting with her partner, as her son, guided by surgeons, pushes his shoulder and body out her abdomen (a process that “mimics natural childbirth,” according to the Telegraph).
” I wanted to share this video to show that if you are unable to give birth ‘naturally’ that having a natural caesarean is the next best thing! In this amazing video my Son delivers himself after the surgeon helps his head out. The team at Torbay were phenomenal and gave me a birth experience I will cherish forever. Please feel free to share with anyone you may feel would benefit watching.”
The process takes longer than traditional C-sections but Saunders says it’s a memory she’ll “cherish forever.” Click the video above to see the incredible moment!
