“Enveloped in Love: Mothers Embracing Precious Moments with Their Little Angels”

 

All births are unique and special in their own way. However, it becomes even more extraordinary when a baby is born “en-caul,” signifying that the amniotic sac remains unbroken during the birth, creating the illusion that the infant is inside a bubble.

This amazing phenomenon reportedly occurs in “fewer than 1 in 80,000 births.” Babies fortunate enough to enter the world covered in their caul are believed to be lucky and possess a special affinity for water.

What is an “en caul” birth?

In an en caul birth, a baby is born while still neatly tucked up in the amniotic sac. They remain completely enclosed, as if they were still in their mother’s uterus, creating a miracle to behold.

Being tucked in the birth sac during labor and delivery helps protect the baby from contractions and facilitates a gentler birth.

While the majority of “en caul” babies are born prematurely, physicians now suggest that babies at risk of premature birth undergo “en caul” deliveries to provide them with a softer start in life and preserve the womb-like environment for as long as possible.

It’s a fascinating glimpse into how a baby grows and lives, and these new photos shared perfectly capture the phenomenon.

“This was such a pivotal moment for me as a birth photographer. Enjoy.” – Leilani Rogers

“Within a few minutes a head started to emerge with a thick bag of water surrounding her. As my hands placed her on her mom’s chest, she was truly still between two worlds. The sticky veil that covered the rest of her face was caught between my fingers. I drew it back and thanked her for allowing me to show her off. This adorable infant curled up on her mother and gazed out at the world. Not one cry for the first few hours following her birth. Just in complete awe of the life she was given.” – Lindsey Meehleis

“How amazing is this baby en-caul? Did you know your waters don’t always have to ‘break’? If left alone, the amniotic sac and membranes will release whenever it is ready, or not at all.” – posted by The Birth Space.
