Original Title: TIL about the rare phenomenon of an “en caul” birth, where a baby is born still enclosed within the amniotic sac. Unlike typical births, where the sac breaks before delivery, in these cases, the baby emerges in a transparent bubble-like membrane. This occurrence is less than 1 in 80,000 births
