The condition of a baby being born still in the amniotic sac (also known as a caesarean birth) is very rare. According to statistics, it occurs in about 80,000 newborns. According to folk beliefs, children born like this will have a lot of luck in their later life.

According to thedoctor: The amniotic sac, also known as the amniotic sac in the mother's womb, is the living environment of the fetus. This amniotic sac consists of two layers: the amniotic membrane and the chorion. Although it is thin and transparent, it is very flexible and tough. Therefore, it can expand as the fetus grows, and at the same time, the amniotic fluid increases and also contains the fetus's urine.

When the amniotic sac ruptures, the baby is born from the mother's body. But unlike this normal rule, some babies are born but still intact in the amniotic sac.

The reason for the sac birth is because the amniotic sac in these cases is thicker and tougher than normal, making it more difficult to tear. In addition, cases where the mother has a dilated and soft uterus also increase the rate of the baby being born and still in the amniotic sac.

For fetuses that are still in the amniotic sac, meaning the amniotic sac is not torn or ruptured, the placenta will not provide oxygen to the fetus. Therefore, the fetus will need to get oxygen by breathing. This is a dangerous condition because the fetus will be at risk of inhaling the fluid in the amniotic sac, leading to suffocation or causing serious damage to the lungs. In these cases, the amniotic sac needs to be cut open quickly and promptly.
