👶✨ BABY BORN WITH A CAUL — WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Have you ever seen a baby born with part of the amniotic sac or membrane still covering the head or face? 😯
This is called being “born with a caul.” 🫧👶
🩺 FACT: It is usually a harmless and uncommon birth occurrence. The membrane is carefully removed by the healthcare provider so the baby can breathe normally and be assessed.
❌ MYTH: Being born with a caul does NOT mean the baby has special powers, is “lucky” by medical definition, or will have a particular destiny.
❤️ Every birth is unique—and sometimes nature gives us a fascinating little surprise!
