Born With a Veil: The 1-in-80,000 Miracle
Imagine a baby entering the world still cradled in a shimmering, unbroken bubble. This is an en-caul birth—one of the rarest sights in medicine, occurring in only 1 in every 80,000 deliveries.

Inside this fragile amniotic sac, the world remains soft, quiet, and familiar for a few extra heartbeats. Historically called being “born with a veil,” many cultures see this as a sign of lifelong protection and great fortune.

Watching a newborn float peacefully, tiny hands tucked under their chin just seconds before their first breath, is a breathtaking reminder of the extraordinary miracle of life. It’s a rare window into the womb, showing us just how delicate and magical our beginnings truly are.
