As any mom will attest, even the most straightforward delivery of a baby is akin to a scene out of a Wes Craven movie. But here is an amazing birth story to end all amazing birth stories. The tale of a baby born without blood.

Yes, much like this baby, Little Oliver Morgan was miraculously brought back from the brink of death after every drop of blood was drained from his body while in the womb.

Incredibly, even though doctors at Maidstone's General Hospital in England couldn't find a heartbeat for 25 minutes after Oliver was born, they managed to perform a blood transfusion into the still-attached umbilical cord.

Fifteen months later, Oliver is a happy, healthy little lad.

"Oliver's birth was so traumatic that I haven't been able to bring myself to tell his story till now. He was born dead with no blood in his body — but now he's sitting here smiling at me," said 36-year-old mom Katy.

A rare condition known as Vasa Previa meant that an extra vein formed in the womb, and when it burst -- 37½ weeks into Katy's pregnancy -- she awoke covered in blood. His blood.

Fortunately for Katy, Oliver was born by emergency Caesarian while she was anaesthetised and unaware of the unfolding drama that makes E.R. and Gray's look tame by comparison.

Miraculously, Oliver didn't suffer from brain damage in spite of being deprived of oxygen for so long. Doctors pumped expressed breastmilk directly into his stomach.

Just 11 days later, Oliver went home with his mum, dad and brother.
