EN-CAUL(BORN WITH AMNIOTIC SAC AND FLUID INTACT)

Just as humans we breath in and breathe out air, we just can’t survive without the air that is around us. Immediately there is no supply of oxygen, life begins to end.
In the same way babies in utero are rather surrounded by fluid called amniotic fluid (water). It’s main function is to protect, nourish, and support the new born in uterus to grow and develop properly.
This fluid should not break before term, if it does it gives room for possible infection to the baby and the uterus, since the protective barrier around the baby is broken. It can lead to malformations in baby if the amniotic fluid around the baby is reduced significantly
If you break your waters before labor sets in during pregnancy. Report to the hospital immediately for help. Your baby in utero cannot survive without the amniotic fluid around them. Don’t wait till the next day… Think about what happens to a fish when taken out of water…Your baby begins to struggle for life
For most births, the waters break before birth occurs, but in the picture below baby was born with sac/and amniotic fluid intact. It happens 1 in about 80,000 births. Isn’t it wonderful!!!
