The newborn is held upside down following birth. The umbilical cord has been clamped with hemostatic forceps and cut using operating scissors. Inside the uterus, the fetus is suspended in amniotic fluid; which acts to cushion it from injury. This fluid lines the airways of the lungs, as they are not required for gas exchange at this point.
