There are actually some really cool superstitions around birth. One is that a baby born in the caul (born with an intact amniotic sac)will be have special powers or gifts. Not many babies are born that way anymore, what with artificial rupture of the membranes during birth, internal monitors, caesarean sections, etc. It's a v. cool superstition, though.
