The birth of a baby is an unforgettable moment. A moment of joy and wonder. As in the following case. In the US, a baby was born inside the amniotic sac - at the 26th week of pregnancy, three months early.

If one wishes to believe all newly born mothers, then every birth is a miracle. This birth is certainly one - a medical miracle. " That was a moment that will remain in my memory for a while, " says attending physician, William Binder, US television CBS Los Angeles, and drew his camera for the once-in-a-lifetime moment of "happiness." The probability of having a birth in the amniotic sac is 1:80 000.

We agree: if the term child prodigy applies to a child, then this. "He's been a little fighter since he was born, " Binder told CBS Los Angeles. The little boy is now 10 weeks old and is allowed to leave the hospital in less than 4 weeks. We wish the baby all the best and, like mother and doctor, will not forget this birth so quickly.
