" &amp;quot;We caught our breath,&amp;quot; said Dr. William Binder, who delivered a miracle baby at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in California. Silas, a newborn boy, had the entire hospital talking because of his astonishing birth story.  RELATED: Doctors Perform 26-Hour Surgery To Separate Conjoined Twins Silas was born prematurely at 26 weeks via C-section, still inside the amniotic sac, a true medical rarity. The doctor couldn&amp;#039;t help but snap a photo of the unbelievable sight. &amp;quot;It really felt like a moment of awe,&amp;quot; he said. The image, although graphic, provides a glimpse of life within the womb. The baby can be seen in the fetal position, with the placenta and umbilical cord still inside the sac. The placenta was still providing oxygen to the baby. RELATED: Moments After Giving Birth, This Woman Experiences The Unthinkable After taking the picture, Dr. Binder worked to get Silas out of the water bag. &amp;quot;It felt like slow-motion, but really realistically probably about 10 seconds that we had to sort of quickly pause and be able to do this, because at the same time, we want to get the baby out of that sac, start helping the baby to begin breathing.&amp;quot; RELATED: Doctors Amazed At Twins Born Months Apart Silas&amp;#039;s mother, Chelsea Philips, didn&amp;#039;t learn of the the sensation her son caused until after her mother showed the doctor&amp;#039;s photo. &amp;quot;It was definitely like a clear film where you could definitely make out his head and his hair. He was kind of in a fetal position and you could see like his arms and his legs curled up. It was actually really cool to see. And when I heard that was actually really rare I was like oh my gosh you&amp;#039;re a special little baby.&amp;quot; The baby is due to head home in about a month.
