You can watch the video in the comments. 👇 They spend nine months inside… and come out without realizing they have already been born. Nature never ceases to amaze 🌿 There is a phrase gynecologists use to describe this type of birth: “the baby who still doesn’t know they have been born.” 👶✨
And that is exactly what you see in this video. The newborn enters the world completely wrapped in their amniotic sac, intact, as if their time inside the womb had not yet ended.
It is called an en caul birth and occurs spontaneously only once every 80,000 births, a phenomenon so rare that, for centuries, it was believed that babies born this way had special powers.
Medieval sailors even bought the membranes to use as talismans against drowning. Some maintain that figures such as Napoleon, Freud, or Charlemagne came into the world this way. 🌊
Today, an en caul cesarean is performed in a planned manner as a delicate option for premature babies, but when it occurs spontaneously and is captured on video, the image is impossible to forget. 💙
