Re: [ozmidwifery] Update on Reuben

We still have my father's caul would you believe.  In the cupboard in the passage!  He hasn't drowned yet, but his intuition?!  But that was always our tradition and I come from an Irish background.

Thank you for that...it's thoroughly enlightening. Are you talking about Ireland? Funnily enough, Alice, my Active Birth student whose emails I've fwdd to this list numerous times, just asked me if a baby can be born without the membranes rupturing. I told her it would take a hell of a lot of perineal massage...etc. I'll forward this email to her.

Cheers,

it means with the membranes still in tact around the babe...certainly where I come fromm it means that the babe , amongst other things will never drown at sea and should ones baby be born 'in the caul ' the thing to do is to rush down to the habour and flog the membranes to the nearest fisherman...they will apparently want to buy them as it will prevent them from drowning at sea as well. However the baby is also supposed to have some sort of sixth sense or at least be particularly intuitive , one of my children was born with the membranes........................
