As you have probably noticed I love sharing stuff that have a big "wow" factor. Usually it's bizarre animals or sometimes crazy medical conditions.
Today's post falls more on the latter category. And the wow factor is really strong in this one 😮😲😳
Allow me to introduce you to the "miracle" of en caul birth.
Keep scrolling down for a somewhat disturbing yet interesting as fuck video:

Ok, you have been warned. Enjoy:
And another one
If you still don't get what you just saw, an en caul birth is a rare event where a baby is born while still inside the amniotic sac. This is an extremely rare event, with about 1 in 80k births being an en caul birth.
I guess it's the closest thing we can get to watching an embryo growing inside her mother!
En caul is a term used to describe the birth of a fetus and placenta entirely encased in an un-ruptured amniotic sac. Also colloquially referred to as a “mermaid” or “veiled” delivery, en caul births are uncommon in obstetrics literature and, therefore, exceedingly rare in the emergency department. While en caul delivery is rare in obstetrics literature, occurring in less than 1 in 80,000 vaginal deliveries, it can be inferred that emergency department delivery of an en caul fetus is exceedingly rare source
There are some more videos on YouTube but this one is probably the "cleanest" and least disturbing. Feel free to check for more. Just search for en caul birth.
Anyways... If you didn't find this fucking cool then I doubt there's anything that can impress you 😅
See you soon with more crazy stuff!
