#En Caul Birth

Legacy

legacy /ˈleɡəsē/ …the long-lasting affect of a particular set of events, actions, etcetera that occurred in the past, or the impact of a person’s life… …something imparted by or received from someone or something from the past… I recently learned when a midwife attends to a birthing woman whose birth she also attended, it’s called a legacy birth… Ever since learning that, the idea of legacy has…

Hi! I'm the nameless face behind this blog. This is an NSFW birth blog, NO MINORS and NO PEDOPHILES. I'm gay, FTM, and a sub carrier. I'm 21+.

I mostly reblog gifs and photos, occasionally write, and sometimes draw.

I DON'T really roleplay, but I'm usually down to chit-chat, although I tend to be slow at responding.

Likes: Pregnancy, breeding, pregnant sex. Birth- Realistic situations! Home birth, primitive settings, instinctual drives, unassisted/unmedicated birth. Pushing, transition, pre-crowning and crowning. Complications, hard labours, breech or anterior are my favourite presentations. Big singleton to no more than triplets. Natural, vaginal birth. Amniotic sac and en caul births. Risky/dramatic birth situation(stuck in snowstorm, middle of nowhere, etc).

I also dabble occasionally in unbirth, and transformation/rebirth.

Dislikes: Caesarian sections, medical settings, instruments, tearing. Public birth. Anal birth. Cunnilingus. Scat/piss. Misgendering. Humiliation.

Fanfiction recommendation: In En Caul, I really liked the writer's preparation on the subject: she wrote very authentically about SPOILER: codependency/addiction, and pregnancy/birth. I loved that she created an alternate world in which all three main characters (authentically) found their healthy place in the family and thus were able to live together peacefully based on genuine mutual love and respect.

‏An en caul birth is when the baby comes out still inside an intact amniotic sac. This rare thing of beauty happens in less than 1 in 80,000 births.

There's this thing that happens in some child births like 1 in 100,000 where the baby's born still inside the amniotic sac. They call it en caul, 'under the veil' or a mermaid birth.

It's said to give the child powers of visions in some cultures, but in almost all that hold some sort of belief they say that it prevents that person from drowning. They save the caul and it's said possessing that alone would keep a sailor from drowning.

I bring this up because to most people that's a oh wow cool mystery event, some folk beliefs to it and the like, but I bet to the Velaryons being born like that is top shelf mystical absolute sign from the Gods.

Oh shoot I totally forgot about this!!😬So sorry!

Oh yeah absolutely on board with you, that would be ✨the✨ sign for them even more meaningful if it happened to one of the high-born kids since Rhaenys was more Targaryen.

Fun fact the son of a close family friend was born with a caul!

Túrin.

The excerpt below the cut is from Magnificat of the Damned Book II when his tomb was found late n the Third Age.

They were silent then, and the Sun seemed to hold itself in an orange-gold haze over the sea.

It had been so long. Sometimes, Vanimórë thought he could only feel the passage of the Ages when he considered Men. He had never been able to dwell on time, for he had never believed he would be free. He would have gone mad long ago had he considered the years of his slavery.

The last of the stones were laid aside. Huge and amber on the rim of the world, the Sun threw its light full into the cairn.

And an image rose over the isle and the ocean, misty as a caul: a land long sunk under the waves. Through the sea-brine Vanimórë smelled pine, heather, fresh water, heard its wild thunder. He understood now what he had not until his apotheosis: He had believed Time a river forever flowing onward, and so it was, but more than that. Everything that had ever happened, or ever would happen was now. And now Túrin confronted Glaurung above the seething fury of Cabed-en-Aras.

“We may not act,” Irmo cautioned them.

“Hail Worm of Sauron, well met again! Die now and the Darkness have thee!”*

They watched, for they were helpless to do anything else and there were tears on Estë's cheeks as a wind blew upon them that was birthed in past ages. They witnessed a young woman come running to the side of the unconscious man, her brother, her beloved husband and they heard Glaurung hiss venomous truth even as he died. Anguish burst over Nienor's face as she remembered her life, and her scream, as she hurled herself into the chasm of Cabed-en-Aras, was wild with madness, brutally truncated as her body struck the rocks. Her tall form, streaming hair, passed like mist through Vanimórë's hand as he reached out...

We may not act...

At the last Túrin, black haired, fey-eyed, recognizing the doom had come upon him spoke to the sword, Gurthang, and cast himself upon it. The cross-guard drove violently against his breast and he stiffened, crouched on hands and knees. Words fell like red jewels from his lips, all of them precious. Father, mother, Nienor, Finduilas, Sador, Gwindor...Beleg... It was a longer and harder death than the lays had it. And there was music, harp-song like tears.

Glorfindel went down on one knee beside the dying man. Vanimórë came from the brink of the chasm where Nienor had vanished and knelt opposite him. They had not been here, they were not here now, yet in some way they were, and Túrin knew it. Crimson dropped from his mouth, past hard gasps of agony, and he formed words.

“It is not ...ended.”

Through Time, their hands reached out, rested gently on the dark head; two Powers, who had themselves known pain, ached with Túrin, trying to draw his death agonies into themselves.

 Glorfindel said softly: “Rest now,Túrin.”

“Oh, Beleg!” It was a groan holding grief that had never been healed, the most dreadful guilt, the deepest love. And still there was music all around them, as if Arda itself was a harp, and the harpist was weeping as he played.

As the past withdrew from them, the last sound they heard was the mourning roar of Teiglin.

A Springful of Babies

It’s Sunday afternoon—it’s a granddaughter’s first birthday, my son and his wife’s seventh wedding anniversary, and Father’s Day! I updated this three days later on the first day of summer so I could capture our final spring birth ♥ I’ve held off updating my statistics as I’m sooo close to attending my 700th birth, but this spring has really been so sweet and so interesting I wanted to share just…

Episode 74: The Mystery of the Witch's Seed - Changelings, Demonic Children, and Alien Hybrids Photodump

Image 01: Mên-an-Tol rock formation in Cornwall, UK. It is said if you pass a child through the formation, the changeling will be spirited away and the human child will return. Image 02: There are better photos of the Mên-an-Tol but this one has horses. Image 03-04: Fairy Ringforts. These circular formations appear all over Ireland! They are said to be active fairy homes. They are formed by ancient circular ruins covered in grass and trees. Image 05: The devil steals a baby, leaving a concealed changeling. Early 15th century, detail of "The legend of St. Stephen" by Martino di Bartolomeo Image 06-07: Baby born en caul, also known as “veiled birth” occurs when a baby is born with the amniotic sac intact. It is a super rare event, only 1 in 80,000 births are en caul! In medieval times it was believed that babies born en caul were of fey birth and were changelings. Image 08: Antônio Villas Boas was a Brazilian farmer who claimed to have had consensual sexual intercourse with an alien in 1957. During the encounter Boas believes he conceived a child with the ET who abducted him. After the encounter, Boas became sick and a REAL DOCTOR tested Boas to reveal he suffered from radiation poisoning. Image 09-10: Bridget Nielson, 27, and Alina Verse 23, are part of the Hybrid Alien Baby Community whose members claim to have mothered 'Hybrid Babies' with aliens. Bridget believes she has mothered 10 Alien Hybrid babies. Here the moms are pictured with drawings of their alien offspring.

I bet most Targaryen babies don't have white hair at birth, but pink.

In fact I bet almost all Targaryen and Velaryon babies (bar those born en caul) have pink hair for the first month of life.

Light hair stains very well, and they constantly had problems on set with blood staining the wigs, and any blonde who's mucked about with koolaid, beet juice, or manic panic could tell you how well coloring sticks.
