Decisions around how to deliver a child are among the toughest faced by expectant parents.
And while mums have long had to choose between either a natural vaginal birth or a caesarean, there is now another way.
The latest trend to emerge among mothers is a mixture of both types of birthing methods.
A video posted to Facebook by childbirth educator Sophie Messager shows a woman delivering her son by ‘nautral caesarean’ – and the results are incredible.

Natural birth: A woman from the United Kingdom has delivered her son through the process of a natural caesarean, the latest birthing trend among mothers – a video of the birth has been watched 1.6 million times
The video shows the baby effectively delivering himself, progressively wriggling his way clear of his mother’s stomach through an incision made during the caesarean.
Doctors and nurses look on as the newborn slowly emerges, removing his head followed by his shoulders and then the full body.
‘Oh look at him,’ the mother can be heard to say as her son emerges from within her.

Posted by Ms Messager on behalf of a friend on Tuesday, the video has since gone viral, receiving more than 1.6 million views and 25,000 shares.
In her post she outlined how the mother had wished to have a natural caesarean, but after having some of her individual wishes for the pregnancy refused, she was forced to change hospitals.
‘A friend had the most gorgeous gentle caesarean yesterday – it was quite a journey because her local hospital refused to entertain any of her wishes,’ Ms Messager wrote.

‘So she had to move to another hospital where she found the most supportive consultant (Dr Andy Simm at Nottingham City hospital), who not only agreed to support all her wishes but filmed the birth to use it to educate other health pros.
‘I especially loved watching the baby walking himself out of the womb,’ she said.
According to Ms Messager, the doctors at the hospital listened to all the mother’s stipulations including the fact that there be no drapes, no weighing or measuring until the family is ready and ‘even waiting until the cord had finished pulsating before clamping it’.
