En caul

My youngest was born vaginally on Easter Day of last year, in his own personal “egg”. It is extremely rare (but not any more dangerous) to still have the amniotic sack intact around the baby, and even more rare for it to contain no water. I wanted to share because it was pretty amazing! Anyone else have an en caul birth or seen one?

Wow!! How cool is that! Thank you for sharing! I’ve never seen that before. It’s amazing seeing how our little ones spent there 9 months.

My daughter was just born in her sack 2 weeks ago but we didn’t get a pic

They use to dry the sack and make a purse out of it for sailors. It was considered good luck and would keep the sailor safe. Called a mermaids purse.

Absolutely amazing!!!! 🥰 I would’ve loved to experience this ☺️

I've never seen a baby born like that. Thanks for sharing. It's like seeing him while inside. He seems so peaceful.

My youngest nephew was coming out with his sac. But I think it still had some fluid in it. The doctor wouldn't let him come out with it on so she broke it. She didn't want the fluid to bust on her...her words. It was on a Naval base. And that doctor was a B. I wish I could have seen this.

Wow! Never seen that before.

Omg amazing!

Mine almost was! My water had to be broken by the nurses 30 minutes into pushing. I always regretted not having a picture as I'm super curious what it was like to push and see the sac instead.

That is amazing; how magical! 🤩

Wow! Amazing! Did they have you go in labor because of the leak, they did with me.

I have delivered many with intact membranes but never with no liquor around. Very interesting, great you got a picture! Xx

Avatar

Possibly. But for the membranes not to slide off as he is delivered is amazing! Xx

Wow amazing .. my second baby was born in his own sack but unfortunately this amazing and special moment wasn't captured

Avatar

My third baby Isabel came out like this. Had to pop her sac after she came out. Extremely cool!!

Avatar

Wow this is amazing

My 14 week miscarriage was born in sac! I chose to be induced and not D&C for personal reasons and she was so tiny fully formed. Would post pic but some people don't like to see that.

Avatar

This is amazing! When I had my daughter at 35 weeks the doctor on call got so excited that this might happen. Then I had to tell her my water broke 10 minutes before we got there in the ambulance ☹ we were both bummed.

Avatar

Wow 😮

Avatar

Absolutely magical 🥰 aren't our bodies amazing!!!

I just gave birth to my son en caul! Sac was fully in tact, but far more transparent than your photo. We had a homebirth so my husband caught him in the sac and lowered him down to the bed where he burst out on his own!

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
