A caul birth is considered rare because the amniotic sac doesn't break during delivery, and the baby emerges still wrapped in it. This happens when the sac is unusually strong or the labor is very quick, not giving the sac enough time to rupture. As a result, the baby is born with the caul, a thin, translucent membrane, covering their body. #caulbirth #amnioticsac #birthawareness #raremedicalcondition #membrane | Medi Cation
