In Scotland we call it 'being born in the caul' and superstition says that it will be a very lucky child!
I saw that episode! I think her water did break, but the sac was still in tact around most of baby's body. I mean, there wasn't any fluid in it when she came out, so it had to have broken, right?
The midwifes said there is a saying that if they are born in there sac they will never drown at sea!
I didnt know that was possible.
I saw the bubble baby episode the other day too!! Def kinda weird...i thought they always break your water if it doesnt break on its own...
I actually just seen that for the first time a couple days ago on "a baby story" TV show... it would for sure be pretty rare as most moms whose water hasnt broke yet, either the Dr, nurse, midwife would break for the mom... on the show she kept calling her baby her little bubble baby... it was interesting for sure i never really thought babies could be born in the sac still.... not that i evre thought about it :) Yep your baby came into the world in a special way!
It's very rare for a baby to be born still in the sac. In some countries they say if a child is born that way they will grow up to do very special things:)
