Between One Born Every Minute and the wealth of videos to be found on YouTube, it’s likely that we’ve all watched a baby being born at this stage.

 

But while we’re well used to the sight of a baby’s head protruding from our nether regions, what about a breech birth? Now that kind of footage is not as easy to come by.

 

For those of you feeling intrigued, a video has been created and shared to show exactly what happens when a doctor is delivering a ‘breech’ baby.

 

 

Using a specially designed ‘pregnant’ model, nurses simulate contractions to push the baby out, while the doctor waits to re-position the baby.

 

The baby emerges bottom-first, and the doctor pulls out its legs before turning it onto its side. Once the arms are out, it’s time to carefully manoeuvre the head out of the mother’s body.

 

 

Just like that, Baby enters the world and is cradled and cleaned off by an awaiting nurse.

 

Given how intense, detailed and informative this video is, it’s not hard to see why it has clocked up over two million views in less than a week!
