And until the bag was broken, he was
still getting oxygen through the placenta, CBS reported. The amniotic
sac is a bag of clear, pale fluid inside the womb where the unborn baby
develops and grows.
The
fluid helps to cushion the baby from bumps and injury, as well as
providing it with fluids it can breathe and swallow. It also maintains a
constant temperature for the baby.
Typically the amniotic sac breaks on its own during birth, which is commonly referred to as a mother's 'water breaking'.
Or during a C-section, the surgeon cuts through it to deliver the baby.
