What happens to babies born in the amniotic sac?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 03/21/2022

This is known as veiled delivery. It occurs when the baby is born with the sacs intact and unruptured and the baby is surrounded by amniotic fluid. This happens rarely, usually during the course of a natural delivery.

When the amniotic sac does not rupture on its own during delivery, artificial rupture is performed by the physician.
