15 Photos That Capture The Beauty of Babies Born With The Amniotic Sac

The birth of a baby marks the beginning of a wonderful relationship between a parent and child.

It is a moment full of joy and we’re lucky if we are able to capture that moment into a photo!

What makes these photos special, though, is because these babies are born along with the amniotic sac. En caul births are considered to be rare as it only happens to 1 in 80,000 births.

Baby Anabelle was born via c-section weighing 8lbs and 5oz with her head wrapped with amniotic sac…

Baby Anabelle’s mum posted the photo on her instagram account with the caption: “Annabelle Burow was born February 21st at 8:05am via c-section. Sometimes we get to caught up in the excitement and forget to take a step back and realize the miracle of birth itself. We are completely in awe and I can tell you nothing- no moment can top hearing my babies cry for the first time, no moment can top the first time they were placed in my arms.  Babies are such a blessing, such a gift and forever a miracle.”
