A C-section delivery video posted on YouTube by a first-time mother, Sarah Saunders, few days ago is already breaking grounds all over the internet. In the video, Sarah is seen giving birth to her son, Leo. Also, the footage highlights a new caesarean section delivery method, which helps the mother to give birth to her baby with ease.

After posting the video on the social networking platform, Saunders also shared her view on new improved C-section method. "If you are unable to give birth naturally, having a caesarean is the next best thing," posted Sarah, as reported by Metro. "In this amazing video my son delivers himself after the surgeon helps his head out. The team at Torbay was phenomenal and gave me a birth experience I will cherish forever."

The video has garnered over 160,000 views till date. It is reported that Sarah has also asked other mothers to share the video of their experience during the surgery. The main reason for this is that she wants to make women more aware about the options of the modern techniques available for delivery procedures.

"Doctors make an incision into the womb and assist the baby by bringing out its head, before leaving it to force its shoulder and body out alone in a way that mimics a natural birth," reported Babble about the stages involved in the delivery process. "Rather than be removed immediately by doctors, babies born through natural caesarean are able to spend up to four minutes with their mother immediately after birth, helping to reinforce the maternal bond."

There are many reports that suggest that the newly discovered skin-to-skin baby delivery method makes the mother's bond with their baby even stronger. It is also reported that this type of stress-free delivery also reduces the number of complications after birth in the child.

Australia News Network reported that the natural caesarean procedures are now gradually becoming more popular in Britain and the US because they actually help the babies to be born in a calmer environment.

A senior midwife at the Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital, Jenny Smith said that the new procedure is all about the connection between the parents especially the mother and her baby.

"It is about the mother," said Jenny, as reported by The Independent.  "After the incision is made the mother is able to see her little baby wiggle out. It is a special moment that is missed otherwise. The baby remains in the abdomen for up to four minutes and the mother can look at it, see its little face and when it wriggles out it is the parents that first determine the sex.
