A baby born without amniotic sac.

1 comments

Not born without amniotic sac, but rather born with the amniotic sac intact.
This is called an en-caul birth and there is a lot of very old superstitions about people born en-caul, mostly that it was good luck.
Ah, yes, I read 'sans' rather than 'dans'. Thanks!
