Spanish Twin Born While Still Inside Amniotic Sac

Spanish Twin Born While Still Inside Amniotic Sac

The world can be a very curious place sometimes. Any given day you’re likely to see something that you’ve never seen before. Today is on of those days based on this post in DailyMail…

It’s an incredibly rare, confronting and beautiful phenomenon all at the same time.

This is the moment a child is born while still inside its fully intact amniotic sac – known as the caul – something estimated to occur in one in every 80,000 births.

The video was taken in Spain on Saturday and captures the rare moment the baby was born with the membrane covering its entire body, just minutes after its twin was delivered normally.

The amazing video shows the newborn lying on a hospital table, curled up inside the clear sac which is tightly stretched around its body.

Moving occasionally, the baby is clearly visible inside the sac with the blue umbilical cord – through which the baby is receiving oxygen – easily distinguishable.

Have you ever heard of such a thing?
