An en caul birth is when the baby comes out still inside an intact amniotic sac (caul). This might make it look like your newborn is completely gift-wrapped in a soft, jello-like bubble. An en caul birth is also called a “veiled birth.” This rare thing of beauty happens in less than 1 in 80,000 births.

Some babies die in the uterus (womb) before they are born (called an intra-uterine fetal death). It can happen during the last half of pregnancy or, more rarely, during the labour and birth, when it is known as intrapartum death. When the baby who has died during labour and birth is born, this is called a stillbirth.

The cervix is the opening in the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens to the top of the vagina (birth canal). During pregnancy, the cervix stays firm and closed until late in the third trimester. It opens, shortens and gets thinner and softer so your baby can pass through the birth canal during labor and birth.
