    I was sitting in bed thinking after trying to nap regarding the whole theory of being affected by hormones in the womb before birth. I was born by C section. Obviously, my position in my mother's womb was different than "standard births". So, were you born by C-section?
     
  2. I was too big and I wasn't up to term (a few days early) so I needed a c-section. I think that's why my head is so round LOL

    Nope. Popped out the regular way. Was not breast fed, and am oddly kinda afraid of breasts.

    Weird thought: You never really get a choice in being born. And then, there you are, having to face so many things, life, death, the things between. If it could be proven we existed as some kind of non-conscious entity, existing before birth, it'd be nice if we could be asked to be born, as opposed to having no say.

    I always think of the John Lennon lyric:

    "Mother, you had me, but I never had you."

    But then I suppose I relate because of some of the very bitter episodes that took place, growing up...

    I was born naturally, which I find surprising considering how big I was.

    I was born naturally, but wasn't breastfed long enough (for around 3 months), because my mother didn't produce enough milk in her breasts. It didn't happen to my younger brother though, he was breastfed for around a year. But I am not sure if it has something to do with me being gay and my brother being straight.

    Born naturally, I was about 6 lbs, so I was a pretty small baby--I was breastfed the normal length as well, maybe even a little longer lol.

    Nope, although I was born two months early so I was ridiculously tiny.

    My mother had a C-section because I was tilted "upside down" during birth so I may not have made it she didn't. Guess I was stubborn from the start! :lol:

    I was born a month late, so no I wasn't. I only weighed 5 pounds and 7 ounces at birth, too.

    These questions are getting awfully specific lol. Anyway C-section, however that had nothing to do with any sort of complication and more to do with the fact that my mom just wanted to get the whole thing over with as little of a fuss as possible. She wasn't really into the centuries-old pushing and screaming for hours ritual so she requested a C-section way in advance. She did this for every birth. I've never really asked what her breastfeeding habits were.

    I was born naturally, and was breastfed till I think around 18 months. Never went near one again.

    Born naturally, in fact by all reports my mom nearly had me at home because her best friend had told her going into labor would be screaming mindrending agony - and she barely felt anything. Was breastfed, but don't know for how long.

    I was abandoned shortly after birth, so I'm pretty sure I was born naturally.
