Venezuelan ob-gyn Jham Frank Lugo captured incredible video of a breech "gentle" cesarean delivery you simply can't unsee! Seriously, be prepared to have trouble closing your mouth as you stare at this video on your computer screen.
As Dr. Lugo describes in his Instagram post, this amazing "gentle" cesarean delivery was pretty peaceful, with music playing in the background for the mom and dad to enjoy, and doula support.

This video has touched so many people — including Angela Gallo, an Australian doula and photographer, who shared and celebrated the video and what it means for "gentle" cesarean births.
"The first truly gentle cesarean I have seen," Gallo shared on Instagram. "It made me weep …. and feel the connection between all involved …. Birth does not need to be clinical, rushed hard lined and full of rough handling … let's make cesarean birth a special place because all birth deserves to be and feel beautiful for baby, mama and family, too."
Hopefully this video can be a source of encouragement to expectant mothers who will have a C-section, and especially to those mommies who fear they'll miss out on being able to enjoy intimate moments with their baby.
