En Caul Birth

This incredible moment captures a rare en caul birth — where a baby is delivered still inside the fully intact amniotic sac. Normally, the “water breaks” when the amniotic sac ruptures at the start of labor, but in this case, the membrane stayed whole — cradling the baby in its protective fluid cocoon. The amniotic sac cushions, nourishes, and protects the fetus throughout pregnancy — and in en caul births, it offers a surreal glimpse into life just before the first breath.
