USAst Pittsburgh pärit Raelin Scurry sünnitus oli niigi ebatavaline – laps sündis vaid 29. rasedusnädalal ja naine tõi ta ilmale autos teel haiglasse. Sellega ei piirdunud aga selle sünnituse iseärasused, sest sündinud imik oli veel lootekotis.

Our birth story! ❤ The human body is truly an amazing thing. 8.5.2017 at about 10am I started having contractions. I was only 29 weeks and 4 days so I just figured they were Braxton hicks and decided to wait it out. After about 45 minutes of consistent contractions that were increasing in intensity I decided I should probably go in. I there in some clothes. Grabbed my daughter some clothes, her my fiance And I left for the hospital. I dropped my daughter to her God mommy Nicole And headed to the hospital. Well the contractions continued to get closer together and more intense and before I knew it I knew it was time to push. I called 911 because I was so scared. They couldn't understand me between the screams with contractions. So I handed the phone to my fiance. I pulled my pants off and reached down, sure enough his head was right there. I pushed one time and my miracle baby was here. When I looked down I realized he was still completely wrapped in the amniotic sac. The dispatcher told us to pull over. But I knew we would make it to the hospital before they would make it to us. So I told Ean to keep driving. I was so scared. My Fiance was so calm driving and on the phone with 911. At first the baby was still and all I could do was pray he would be okay. And then I rubbed his face with my thumb and he pulled his little hands and feet up to his face as if he understood my prayers and wanted to reassure us he was okay. About 7 minutes passed that I held this miracle baby in my hands until we made it to the hospital. A familiar face came running out and grabbed my baby. He was born an caul. This happens 1 in every 80,000 births. Usually during c-section. He was 3lb 1oz. He doing wonderful all things considered all He went through I know he's going to be an awesome little man! ❤ he is truly a miracle​ baby. We are so blessed to be his parents. #encaul #encaulbirth #carbirth #miriclebaby

Vanemad olid väga üllatunud, kui nägid, et last ümbritseb veel lootekott ehk õhuke kile, mis ümbritseb üsas last ja lootevedelikke.

Kogu kaose keskel suutsid vanemad Scurry ja ta kihlatu erakordsest juhusest ka pildi teha ning postitasid selle eelmisel nädalal Instagrami. Ta kirjutas postituses, et kiirabi käskis neil peale sünnitust autoga teeserva jääda, kuid nad teadsid, et jõuavad haiglasse, enne kui kiirabi kohale jõuaks.

Postituses selgub, et algul oli laps liikumatu, kuid kui naine masseeris pöidlaga lapse nägu, liigutas ta jalgu ja käsi. Neil läks seitse minutit peale lapse sündi, et haiglasse jõuda. Praegu on neil arvestades juhtunud kõik suurepärases korras, kirjutab ema.

Lootekotis sündimine on väga haruldane ning vaid üks 80 000 lapsest sünnib sellisel viisil, kirjutab Health.

Üsas on lootekott ühendatud platsentaga, mis varustab loodet hapnikuga. Kuid peale sündi peab lootekoti purustama paari minutiga, et lapse kopsud saaksid hakata ise hapnikku vastu võtma. 

Tavaliselt puruneb lootekott vahetult enne sündi, see seletab ka lootevee vabanemist. Arstid võivad lottekoti ka tahtlikult katki teha, kui see ei peaks loomulikult sünnitusel juhtuma. Samuti võivad nad seda teha keisrilõikega. 

Mõnikord jätavad arstid enneaegsed lapsed ka meelega lootekotti, et neid sünnituse ajal kaitsta. Ei ole tõendeid sellest, et lootekotis sündimine võiks lapsele mingeid pikaajalisi tervisekahjustusi põhjustada, kui emale ja lapsele pakutakse peale sündi korralikku hoolt. Läbi ajaloo on seda isegi nähtud hea õnne märgina.
