I was late and I got stuck and pooped in my mother's uterus and then I got very sick. I nearly died and I had to be fed through feeding tubes for a week when I came home. My dad said I was a strong baby so I lived. I think I was placed under a oxygen mask.

I was really late (couple weeks) and had pooped before coming out. They had to suck it out of my lungs because I had inhaled some before being born.

three weeks late, or so said my mother, who was always resentful about it.


Did your Mom need to have a C-section? I guess nowadays if a baby is two weeks late, they will get it with a C-section.

my mother broke her leg during pregnancy with me, spent long hot uncomfortable summer in a cast, i was born with cord around neck, c-section, mother deathly sick with something at time of birth, immediately thrown into nursery and didn't see her for three days... "supposedly" no brain damage but then this was 1968 and who the hell knew or cared then.

have current ongoing internal rage/violent thoughts that get worse as i get older.
