AN AMAZING birthing video which shows a baby crawling out of its mother’s womb, completely unaided, during a cesarean section has gone viral.

After the new-born child’s impressive achievement, the doctors followed his mum's wishes and allowed his umbilical cord to stop pulsating before cutting it.
The film lasts three minutes, and ends with the glowing mother proudly holding her baby boy.
, doctors and medical professionals can be heard saying: ‘Awwww, look at him’ and ‘here he is, he’s coming now’, as the baby makes it great escape.
The tearful mum exclaims ‘oh my gosh’, as her new-born son is placed into her arms.
The mother's wishes:
* No drapes
* Walking out of the baby to help clear lungs
* Delivery to chest if cord allowed
* Cord left to stop pulsing before cutting
* No weighing or measuring until family ready
* Baby to stay on mum until she was ready to part (it was 6 hours). Even when pat sliding to transfer
* Own music
* Lights reduced.
As she shared the video, Sophie wrote: “A friend had the most gorgeous gentle cesarean yesterday - it was quite a journey because her local hospital refused to entertain any of her wishes.
“So she had to move to another hospital where she found the most supportive consultant, who not only agreed to support all her wishes but filmed the birth to use it to educate other health pros.
“I especially loved watching the baby walking himself out of the womb.
“The mum also told me that someone stood holding a mirror for her and that the anaesthetist lifted her shoulders so she could see better.
“They also waited until the cord had finished pulsating before clamping it.
