The birth of Zaskia Sungkar and Irwansyah's second child on February 21, 2026, at RSU Bunda in Central Jakarta, drew social media attention due to the rare en caul condition.

The birth of Zaskia Sungkar and Irwansyah's second child on February 21, 2026, at RSU Bunda in Central Jakarta, became a hot topic on social media. The delivery occurred under a rare medical condition known as en caul, where the baby was born fully enclosed in an intact amniotic sac.
The moment was shared via the Instagram account @bukaan.moment. In the uploaded video, the baby appeared as if inside a transparent balloon filled with fluid. The account wrote, "POV: terlahir dengan cara yang begitu langka. En caul, terbungkus utuh dalam selaput kehidupan," quoted on Thursday, February 26, 2026. The post also included, "MasyaAllah lahir masih terbungkus selaput di Ramadhan tanda dari Allah?"
Zaskia Sungkar responded in the comments with a calming perspective. She wrote, "Fenomena yang cukup jadi reminder kebesaran Allah, dan Allah mampu dalam segala hal, tidak ada pengkhususan dan wallahualam bissowab. Tidak ada landasan dalil keberuntungan dalam hal ini, semua persalinan jadi moment kita melihat kebesaran Allah." This response received appreciation from netizens. Irwansyah did not comment but liked the post.
Medically, en caul is a condition where the baby is born with its entire body still inside the intact amniotic sac. This phenomenon is very rare, estimated at less than 1 in 80,000 live births. It can occur in both normal deliveries and cesarean sections. It differs from caul, where only part of the amniotic membrane covers the baby's head or face.
