A doctor has recorded the amazing moment a baby is born via a so-called natural C-section.

The footage was recorded by doctor Frank Lugo who works at the Cenfer Clinic in Venezuela where he oversaw the procedure.

What is the Ig Nobel Prize and who won it this year?

Unlike a typical C-section, where medical professionals remove an infant, in a ‘gentle C-Section’, doctors guide as baby to make its own way out of the womb.

The procedure is supposed to make the procedure more emotional for the parents and as close to the experience of vaginal birth as possible.


In the video from the Centro de Fertilidad Clínica Lugo the baby can be seen pushing its head out of its mothers womb completely unaided.
