What do you know about your birth?

[Janice]

I know I was born on a Sunday morning, shortly after 8am. I weighed 7 lbs, 3oz. It was January and freezing outside. I was named Janice for January...whatever on that, lol. No problems with delivery.

My father drove my mother to the hospital the night before. My grandmother came over to babysit my two older sisters.

That's all I know. How about you?

[James"Thunder"Early]

If I recall what my mother told me about it correctly, it was around 4:30 or 5:00 pm on a Wednesday and my grandmother was there in the delivery room.

[Brad Russ]

I was born around 7:30 A.M., and weighed 7 lbs, 5oz. I know I was born with a heart murmer, and I know that my birth was alot tougher on my mom, then it was when she had my older brother. That's about it.

[TJL]

I was born a week before Chirstmas in 1968. I was a few days early, according to my Mother. My Mother went into labor as her and Dad were putting up decorations.
There was an epidemic of the Hong Kong flu in Jersey City ( Seriously, the Hong Kong flu) so we had to stay at the hospital for an extra day or two to make sure we weren't infected.

There were rumors that my birth would unite the nations of the world in peace, but I think that was a load of crap.

;)

[MaydayMalonesGirl]

I was born at 1:11am. My parents we eating at a restaurant when my mother went into labor. That's all I really know.

Well, there's also some bad stuff that supposively happened after I was born. My mom has said my father disappeared for two weeks the day after I was born and left her alone at the hospital. But my dad insists that none of it is true. Who knows?

[Dr. Thong]

It was successful.

[Im a big deal]

I was born @ around 11 at night on feb. 24 1991. i was a month early and i weighted 5 lbs. 8 oz. thats all i know.:)

[Superstar]

I think I was born about 10am on June 12 1991. And I think my dad ran over a cat when he was driving my mom to the hospital :lol:

[Stuck In The '70's]

I was born at 8:20 in th morning. I think it was on a Thursday.

[Fleet]

Born at 8:11 AM on a Monday morning, 7 lbs, 9 oz, a warm day.

[~LadyJess~]

I was born on a Tuesday at 2:15 pm by C-section, two days before Thanksgiving and my parents fourth wedding anniversary. I was 6 lbs, 10 oz. and was 18 inches long.

[Mijada]

I know I was born at 8:31 pm, not sure what day it was. I think either a Friday or Saturday. Around 6 or 7 lbs. No idea how long I was. I was the fifth and last child so by the time I came along my mom no longer kept track of that stuff. My mom told me she went into labor while scrubbing the kitchen floor. She tracked down my dad at one of the bars he hung out at. He said he would come home to take her to the hospital as soon as he finished his drink. After a couple hours he finally came home. I was born about a half hour after they arrived at the hospital. My mom thought she was going to have me in the car. The neighbors babysat my siblings. I happened to be born on my older brothers 7th birthday so we always had to share a cake growing up but I didn't mind.

[Mr. Stefani]

I know my mom caught an amonia at 7 months and they didn't think we were going to survive it so they wanted to I guess terminate the pregnancy, but she wouldn't allow it. I was born almost 2(i think) months early, and was having problems breathing on my own for some time. My aunt has told me a priest came in twice a day for 3 weeks and prayed for us because they didn't think one of us would make it..My dad was in Australia on business, so he wasn't around as usual. To add to it my grandma(My moms mother) was killed while my mom was in the hospital, she was never able to attend the funeral, or say goodbye.. so to this day my mom hasn't really said much about it, everything i know is from my aunts. So basically I for the rest of my life will never question my mothers love for me.

[Karen*]

I was born a little bit after midnight on a Saturday, August 27, 1988. My dad came home from work at night back then. He wanted to go bowling with my mom, but she was actually starting to go into labor right before he came home. It was a successful birth for her, but I was born about a month premature, and I had to be put in an incubator for ten days because my liver was weak.

[Dutabi84]

Born at either 9 or 10 at night..weighed in at 10 pounds, 11 oz. Yeah, I was a big boy. I was nearly 24 inches tall at birth, too.

[Hollow]

my mom went into labor three months prematurely but the doctor helped get the contractions to stop..i was officially born at the right time. tuesday, july 4, 1989 at 07:36 am. 112 degrees outside. my parents had agreed that if i had dark hair my name would be sarah and if it was light my name would be susan, because they couldn't agree on a name.

[Southern Hellraiser]

I was born Thursday July 23, 1992 on 11:07am. I weighed 8lbs and 12 oz. For some reason my aunt named me.

[*MIBabe03*]

I was born at 5:02 a.m. on Wednesday, March 13 1985. I weighed in at 7 ibs 12 ozs and I was an unscheduled C- section, because I was in the breach position the entire time. My mom had wanted to know what sex I was, but they never could tell her because of the position I was in. Well when the nurse was down there checking to see how far along she was, she told my mom that yep I was breach, and asked if she knew the sex of the baby. My mom said no she didn't know but she wanted to. The nurse said I was a girl, lol because there was nothing in between my legs. Anyway all went fine with the C-section. My father wasn't allowed in the delivery room, because they hadn't taken some special class or something like that. My mom said he got to hold me more though.

[Sargent Stewie]

The rubber broke and they accidently had me.

[PZelda]

9:51pm on Friday, August 16, 1985. My mom went into labor when she was feeding my sibs (then 3 and 5 years old) dinner, and within two hours, I came along. I was three weeks early, to boot. I was supposed to have come along on Friday, September 6, 1985.

[robyrob]

Mine is an interesting tale...

i was supposed to come out on St. Patrick's day (which would've made me a Patrick), but it passed by with several false alarms before my mom woke up early in the morning on April 1st to wake up my dad to tell him that this was the one. He didn't believe her, so he decided to make himself some eggs before taking her to the hospital - my mom got fed up and drove the family car (a blue 1969 Ford Mustang) to the hospital herself. She parked in one of the ambulance spots, telling them that she'd be back to move it in an hour (which she DID).

I was born 10lbs - 11oz after 20 minutes of labor, and some 3000 miles away my mom's father woke up at approximately the same time after dreaming of the birth and called my dad to find out what had happened. Dad had to call a taxi to get to the hospital, but mom didnt want to talk to him for some reason. She made him take the bus home too I think.

[swedeace]

I was born, I believe, on a Monday or a Tuesday, and I was born at around 2:30 p.m. I was my mom's firstborn child, so she was in the hospital for a few days before I was born, and she had to stay about two more days thereafter. I was about 7lbs.

[D.J.]

I was born the day before the Fourth of July 1988, weighing 8 pounds 2.5 ounces and 22 1/2 inches.

[Janice]

Wow, what a story. Both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

[TheGreatPretender]

That my mom was outside taking out the trash when her water broke and I was born at 11am and when my siblings got the news on my birth n stuff they were watching "Eureka's Castle" at home. :lol: Very random.

[dawsongirl]

Sunday night, 9:44pm. My impending arrival pissed off the Iranians so much they took hostages. A week late I was, because well, I probably didn't want to wake up, or I was too lazy to move out...The first time my mom held me, I gave her a dirty look. 6lb, 14oz. I was born one week before my parent's one year anniversary.

[Janice]

Sunday night, 9:44pm. My impending arrival pissed off the Iranians so much they took hostages.
:lol: :lol:

[Stormtracker TF]

I was born at 9:05pm on September 21st, 1989, in a small town outside of Toledo, Ohio. I weighed just over 8 pounds. Apparently I was late and once I got out I was ANGRY that I had to be disturbed and cried the entire day.

Exactly 2 hours, 55 minutes later....

http://www.geog.ucsb.edu/~joel/g110_w05/lecture_notes/hurricane/fig_16_11.gif

Makes me wonder if that had anything to do with me wanting to be a Meteorologist ever since I could talk.

[sara]

I was born at 6:40pm on May 22 1979, it was a tuesday. I was born right on my due date. My grandma called my mom and teased, "Don't you know you're supposed to be having a baby," and my mom replied "Well I might, I'm timing contractions. :lol: I was 8 lbs 5 ozs and 22 inches long. My mom said I had an odd shaped head, probably because they used forceps to turn me a little. Also since the doctor knew my parents name choices before hand, he didn't say "it's a girl", he said "it's a Sara".

[ponytail]

I was born on a Sunday morning at 4:19 am. I weighed 7 lbs. 14 oz. My mom started having contractions at 1:00 am, so she was't in labor too long. She said the day before she was scrubbing the floor and lifting the water bucket, which she wasn't suppose to do.

[Moonlight Lady]

I was born at 10:59pm, July 15, 1969, on a Tuesday. My mother was in labor with me for 10 hours before they had to a C-section. I had a full head of black curly hair. They brought me home five days later and watched the moon landing with my aunt, uncle and cousins.

[Living In a '70's Dream]

My mom went into labor after watching the Hollywood Squares:lol: ; then, I was born four hours later, a month premature, I weighed 6 pounds and was 20 inches long (so I was a tall, skinny baby); and the reason why I was born, (exactly) a month early (I was due, January 4th, 1970) because I did not want to miss out being alive in the 1960s.;)

[~LadyJess~]

Sunday night, 9:44pm. My impending arrival pissed off the Iranians so much they took hostages.

:lol: Oh Cathy, you crack me up.

[Tundra Wolf]

I was born at like, 11:40 PM, or somewhere around there.

[Courtnee]

I was born 12:30 in the afternoon on tuesday August 10th 1991 on Castle AFB CA.



My doctors name was dr klutz


after i was born instead of holding me, my ma watched the news

[Brent88]

That I was born at 5:45am Central time on a Sunday Morning. The sun was rising over the River right outside the hospital at the time. My mom went into labor at 3pm the previous afternoon. Her, my grandmother, my aunt, and her daughter were getting ready to go shopping when her water broke. My dad had just gotten to work about an hour away and beat them to the hospital. :lol: I was born exactly on my due date.

8 lbs 4 oz. Born with a conehead.

[Polniaczek033]

i was born in greenville hospital in greenville, pa on august 29, 1991. i have no idea what time or day it was or how much i weighed but i'll figure that out later.
all my parents told me was that i shot out like a cannonball. :p

[Jo_Luvs_Ketchup]

Unfortunately all I know about my birth is I was born on October 12, 1988 in Scranton, PA and I was a c-section. I think I was born around my due date but my mom doesn't remember. I know I'm gonna remember details like that! *Pouts* lol:wave:

[YoliUSA]

I was born on Wednesday, March 30, 1988 via C-section, at 2:35 AM. I was 3 days early.

[Janice]

:2bump

[Kazza]

I was born on a Wednesday . Both my kids were born on a Wed. too.

[Number 9 Dream]

I was born on a Sunday on August 22nd, 1982 at 4:20 a.m. I weighed 6 lbs 3 oz. and was 19 and a half inches...I was a pretty tiny baby. My Dad was the one that named me Kristel.

[catlover79]

I'm the oldest of three kids. My mom had high blood pressure so she was admitted on September 15 of 1979. Her birthday was on September 19. The next day the nurses gave Mom a cheese sandwich and the lady in the bed next to her complained because they didn't give her anything. :lol: So I was born 10:36 pm on 9/20, in the middle of Quincy. :lol: I was only 5 pounds and was blue. So I had to be given oxygen right away, but other than that I was OK. I don't know where my folks came up with the name Monika, but that's what I've been ever since. :)

[Ireneparalegal]

I was born by c-section on April 5, 1965. Early Sunday morning. I was six pounds.

I was given up for adoption. My birth mother made contact with my parents (adopted parents) through an acquaintance who had told her that there was a couple with two adopted children who may want to adopt another baby. My natural parents visited my parents and my father declined. He said two children were enough. The day I was born, my natural mother called my mother (adoptive) and told her I was born and if they would consider changing their minds. My mother (adoptive) cried and cried to my dad. My dad loved my mother so much, he changed his mind. While my father was at the hospital signing the birth papers as the "legal father" my mother and my sister and brother went "shopping" and bought EVERYTHING from clothes, diapers, furniture, bottles, etc. This wasn't a "legal adoption". My birth parents just left the hospital with me and my adoptive family waited outside and I was handed over. There was never any worry that she may change her mind. I don't consider my family to be my "adoptive family"...I only use that term when I am telling the story so I don't confuse people. I love my family very much and my parents were the most loving parents in the world. I couldn't have asked for any better parents.

[AB]

I was born on a Saturday morning round 10 a.m. and my mom said I cried for
3 months after I was born, she said she was ready to give me back.

[Zoneboy]

I was born on Friday October 2nd 1964 at 7:03 A.M. This day was made even more special for me when I found out that October 2nd was also the same day that my favorite show (The Twilight Zone) debuted on tv although that was in 1959.

[Cactus Jack]

My mom went into labor after watching the Hollywood Squares:lol:
Does that mean if you were a boy your name would be Paul Lynde?

[Ireneparalegal]

Awwww, what a beautiful story:)
Thanx Tara. :wave: :D

That is quite a touching story Irene. It took courage for your bio parents to let you go, knowing you would have a better life. Your *real* parents got lucky when they got to take you home. I'm sorry your mother died so young. I can see that she was a wonderful woman.

I am touched. Thank you Janice. My mom was the most beautiful lady and the most wonderful mother. I can't wait to see her again and hold her in my arms...God willing.

[I Love John Ritter]

I was born a few days early. I had the umbilical cord around my neck...the doctors could detect my heartbeat going down so I had to be born via C-section. My parents wanted to know what gender I was going to be (especially since all my cousins were boys) but they couldn't because the umbilical cord was in the way :p . So...I was surprise when I was born because I was the first and last girl of the family (out of my cousins, I mean).

[hippiechick60]

i was born on a dark and stormy night on monday march 30 at 12:48 am 1981
i woke my mom and dad up in the middle of the night and my poor dad left our poor cat that we had at the time out side in the pouring rain she was not at all happy with my dad doing that to her but i don't think he meant too do it just got a little bit panicy i think!

[Liza]

My mom didn't want to have me at the army hospital because they had let a man bleed to death on the operating table earlier that yeaer. So she & my dad scheduled a trip home to visit her parents right on my due date. And then I was 2 weeks late. On the night I was born my dad had just left to return to the army post, he was halfway there before my grandpa got ahold of him and told him to come back. I was born at 8 the next morning.

Later that day a tornado came through the town. It fortunately didn't hit the hospital, but it came close. My sister was born during an electrical storm that burned down an 8-story-building, and my brother was born during a blizzard. That's when my parents decided they had enough children :lol:

[hippiechick60]

well i had to be born in an army hospital cause my dad was in the army and that was the only one close enough but i don't think nothing bad happen there so i was all right!

[Brent88]

I was born on a Sunday Morning in Late July at 5:45am. The hospital room had a large picture window looking out over a river to the east and the sun was just coming up. My mom went into labor about 3pm the previous afternoon. She was going to go to the mall with my grandma, her sister, and niece when it happened. My dad, who had just gotten to work 20 miles further away BEAT them to the hospital! :lol: :p

[LuLu Rogers]

I was born at 9:45pm on June 15th, 1987 at ECM hospital here in Alabama. I weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and I was 21 inches long. My parents were expecting their little Jason Andrew, but they got me instead, lol. :lol:

[Corolla]

I was born after supper. I can't remember the exact time. How did the world survive without me? :p

[BensonFan]

I was born on a Thursday, 10:44PM in Chicago. I was also 4 days late (I was due on Valentine's Day!) Oh well....sorry, mom! :p

[Liza]

That's funny. My parents thought I was going to be a boy too. Christopher Erik. Instead they got Emily Lenore :)

[ABlairican Pie]

I was born, from what I've been told, by C-section at 12:36 AM on November 27, 1962. It might have been right before Thanksgiving, I'm still trying to find the correct time, because my mother told me that I was born on a Thursday morning, depending on how you look at the time and which day that falls on. I think it was on a Wednesday. Oh wait. I remember a mug she got me over 20 years ago which said that "Tuesday's child is full of grace" which means she probably counted it from the TUESDAY night/Wednesday morning reckoning.... :crazy: Scratch Thursday. :turkey:

Anyway, my father was serving in the Navy of the coast of Long Beach, CA., I was told he had gone on icebreaking ships to as far as Antarctica. My mother was in the hospital, I was told she and my older brother had a small cheap apartment there. I was also told that when I was born, my lungs collapsed and that I was put in an incubator to keep from dying. Was I premature? I think I was told that at one point, but, fortunately, I turned out okay (obviously). :lol:

[JO jr]

It Happened...yea For Me:D

[Brad Russ]

I don't know much, but I do know I was one ugly baby!!!!!!!

[catlover79]

These are all great stories...all the more poignant because I'm going to be an aunt again in July. :D

[*Pleasant Tomorrow*]

I don't know much. It was around 10 in the morning on Saturday, April 8th 1989 in Utica, NY. I was born via C-section. My extended family told me they were watching TGIF when they were waiting for me to be born. And I guess my mom almost named me Jordan.

[treky]

all I know is it happened on a snowy morning in November around 7 in the morning, and my Dad said I had a lot of black hair.

[phoebe7165]

I remember being in a warm safe place, then I saw this bright light and like an idiot I went towards it....

Just kidding!!:p

Actually, I'm told I was born C-section. For some reason, my 2 sisters & brother were, too. I don't know why. My parents were also going to name me Kelly, but they named me Andrea, kind of after my dad whose name was Andrew. Sometimes I wish they had named me Kelly. Nobody gets that wrong. Alot of people get Andrea wrong. I've been called Angela, Adrienne, An-dray-a, which bugs me the most of all!!:mad:

That's all I know.
