Veiled Birth

Giving birth with the amniotic sac intact is called a VEILED BIRTH. A membrane that covers the head and face of the newborn is called a 'caul' or also known as hood,veil or veil of tears. Veiled birth is very rare but it is possible and it is less painful. Because the water cushions the 
baby's head and that means less bruishing for the mother and the baby. In this kind of birth,the sac or also known as veil or caul is never broken and the water is not released until the baby is outside the womb. A caul is harmless and can be easily removed but it has to be done properly so that the baby will not get injured. 

Veiled births usually occur in premature deliveries. The baby will not take the first breath until he/she hits the air for the first time and the placenta will continue to provide oxygen until that happens, so there is no chance of the baby breathing in the fluid.
