the doctor subsequently edited the video, reversing and going forward to created the repeated clapping, and adding in the parent's singing.

That is according to the mother who posted the video. from snopes:
"So, this video does not really show an unborn child clapping along to its mother's singing while inside the womb. What it does apparently show is a singular movement which has been edited to make it look as if you're a fetus and you know it, you'll clap your hands. "
