Newborn Girl Clings To Mom’s Face Just Seconds After Birth, And The Video Will Warm Your Heart
This instant emotional connection between a newborn girl and her mom shocked even the medical staff that helped deliver the baby. Luckily, the heartwarming moment was captured on video, allowing everyone to take a peek.
In Santa Monica hospital in Brazil, Agata Ribeiro Coelho was introduced to her mum by doctors after entering the world via C-section. She then immediately clung to her mother Brenda Coelho de Souza’s face and refused to let go, finding comfort in her mom’s gentle presence.
“It was an incredible moment when my daughter hugged me for the first time,” Brenda says. “The medical team were great and were all really surprised that she acted this way, they couldn’t believe how affectionate she was with me.” Get your tissues ready and check out the video below.

I know this will get me downvotes, but "allowing everyone to take a peek" to one of the most intimate and precious moments humans can experience feels wrong to me. (No, I did not play the video.) Moreover, unless there are strong medical reasons against this, it is recommended to put the baby onto the mother's breast as soon as possible – normal birth or c-section notwithstanding. There are even elastric straps available that help to protect the open c-section wound, so that it can be taken care of while immediate bonding is possible. Therefore, I find the video even more questionable.

I'll up-vote you Hans. I understand your opinion, even though I'm neutral on this.

I can't play the video but from the pic it looks like she was trying to nurse on her nose. ;)

I was a Doula for many years and have attended c-section births. Yes.. They ARE births. When baby is born, skin to skin contact is encouraged and baby often "crawls" up momma's abdomen to find the breast. In the case of a c-section, everything below the mother's neck is a sterile environment so these folks did the next best thing. ALL births are beautiful.

I am so happy that I was able to give birth to my wonderful kids without a c-section. Seeing my kid for the first time, without being allowed to hold it in my arms, without being able to nurse it right away (like I did with them both) was one of my biggest nightmares.

Come on, let's be honest, the baby is not actively clinging on the mother, it has just been placed there face down and the arms are just hanging down passively... Some people want to read too much into children behaviour. ...And now let the childaholics' downvotes feast begins!

A definitin of birth for you: "The emergence of a baby or other young from the body of its mother; the start of life as a physically separate being." Nothing says birth has to involve a vagina. To say all people born by c-section were never actually born is highly offensive.
