My son was born still in his amniotic sack. He was just fine!The doctor said “it is good luck” he called it A GOLDEN BIRTH. My labor was the same as my other children. So I guess it does’nt matter either way. Good Luck

What happens when a baby is born with in the amniotic sack? I mean the baby comes out of the mother while he /she is still in the sack?

Nadine – It is impossible for the mother to vomit amniotic fluid. The amniotic fluid is only in the uterus, which is not connected to your digestive track in any way. What you vomited was probably just bile, which can cause minor damage to your esophagus and teeth due to the stomach acid. Repeated exposure to stomach acid (repeat throwing up) can cause progressivly higher amounts of damage to the esophagus and teeth. I would question any nurse who told you that you threw up amniotic fluid since she clearly does not understand basic biology.

Monique – Hopefully your friend’s second child is still doing fine. While an amniotic sac can spring a leak or get a small rupture it can sometimes (key word being sometimes) repair itself as long as it’s small enough. There are pioneering attempts to manually seal ruptures that occur that do not seal naturally by using biological glue. If you google ‘amniotic sac repair’ at least one story will show up.
