Amazing footage has revealed how newborn twins were born while still inside their amniotic sacs.

Less than one in 80,000 children are born “caul,” which is when the bubble of protective membranes that wrap a baby in the womb remain intact during birth.

The amniotic sac is a jelly-like container filled with fluid that helps protect the baby from bumps and scratches during pregnancy.

It is designed to protect the baby during gestation, and normally it breaks at the start of labor.

But in one case, Brazilian doctors had to intervene and break the bags themselves.

On June 11, Cristiane Mucci gave birth to Maria Cecilia and Maria Alice.
