I guess anecdotal evidence will not suffice for this gentleman, umh! If photographic eveidence is required then you could have  high speed film, slow shutter speed and while you prolly wont get a great photo, you may have some evidence in the future. I had my camera set up like this for the birth of my third daughter and did get a lot lovely though grainy photos with no flash. This was 23 yrs ago and now nobody(that I have been around) seems concerned about the flash I am interested that this is still a concern. Have we just forgotten about it?   marilyn ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Murphy To: list Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 3:08 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] BORN IN CAUL Today a paediatric registrar  told me that it was impossible for my recent client to have birthed her  baby "in the caul".  He was wanting photographic proof.  I explained that we didn't take photos of such events because 1) it would mean using a "flash"- He couldn't see the problem , & 2) we don't know in advance that it is going to happen.  Does anyone have photos of this "impossible" event?   cheers, MM
