just being born

How a child called who is under the procession of being born? I would say it’s the child who is just being born. Wouldn’t I say that the being born child? Or: the child just being born? For e.g. the picture shows a child just being born. Or: It shows a being born child.
But shortly: I’m talking about the situation when a child is not after the moment of birth but the birth is happening.

"Peter is my neighbor's son," he said, checking his watch, "who at this moment should be about halfway down the birth canal."

It's a fetus in the process of being born. It stops being a fetus and becomes a baby when it pops out.

Thank you, and it’s a very good advice but you misunderstand me now.
