My wife gave birth like this, right on the living room floor and my daughter came out in an egg. The whole thing happened so quick, the midwife only arrived a few moments before she dropped, lucky as she needed to cut the egg open and get my daughter out.
Meanwhile I was lying on the sofa with a broken leg trying to stop our cat from eating everything.
I like how you describe her as “in an egg” lol. She was still inside the amniotic sac. The majority of the time, the amniotic sac ruptures prior to delivering the baby. The baby is delivered first and then the placenta follows soon after. But when both are delivered together with the sac entirely intact, it has a special name called an “en caul” birth.

Legend has it that babies born en caul, or “in their waters” will never drown at sea.

Hell yeah brother
Can one say your daughter’s a cute chick? Does she still squawk from time to time?
