Woman Posts Picture Of Her Baby In Its Amniotic Sac

Raelin Scurry, a Pittsburgh woman posted an Instagram photo of the newborn taken on the way to the Hospital , but whats different is that this baby was still in the amniotic sac.
She woke her fiance to drive her there after what she thought were false labor pains turned into the real thing.

Scurry called 911, but before help could arrive she gave birth to the boy still in the water-filled sac.
The protective sac generally bursts in the earlier stages of labor, commonly referred to as a pregnant woman’s “water breaking.” Babies birthed in intact amniotic sacs are rare.

Scurry, who works in medical research, knew the baby would be safe in the sac. But she worried when she didn’t see him moving.

“At first he was very still, and I went to his face like this through the sac,” Scurry said, indicating she touched the sac with her finger. “And he pulled his hands and his feet up and covered his face in the sac. And I was like, ‘He’s OK.'”

Doctors broke the sac when Scurry arrived at the hospital, and the baby started crying immediately, she said.
The boy was born 11 weeks early after 29 weeks’ gestation. He was placed on oxygen and is doing well.

His parents named him Ean Jamal Vanstory Jr., after his father. They call him E.J.
