The midwives I have been with at home from whom I have learnt most therefore & what I did was to leave it intact till the babies head was out - as it acts as a cushion for the mother and baby.

 

Also based on Michle Odent's theory about waterbirth's & why the baby does not breathe under the water or in the caul/membranes.

= that due to  Pascal's (?) principle = pressure in a fluid filled container (membranes, tub ) is equal in all directions -therefore the pressure  receptors on the baby's face do not prompt the baby to take a breath until it is out of water/bag of membranes. 

When you break it peel it down over the face first clearing the mouth ready for that first breathe!!
