Re: [ozmidwifery] BORN IN CAUL

[Mary Murphy]

Thanks for the replies Julie & Marilyn.  Re the flash.  I have no proof, just going on instinct, but as many of our births these days are waterbirths, I don't want a baby getting a fright & gasping whilst still underwater.  Also, I don't want a baby who has been born gently into dim light getting a huge flash of light just after birth.  I would still be interested if anyone else has photos of a baby still in the caul.  Cheers, M 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?
