Were you born naturally or cesarean section?

[dustybiker]

How did you enter the world?

Natural

Cesarean section

Don’t know

[WonderBell99]

My brother was natural, but my mum had some complications with him. They had to do a blood transfusion because she had lost a lot of blood.

I was a C section baby because apparently, my head was too big, and would have resulted in serious complications if I wasn't taken out through cesarean

How about yourself?

[dustybiker]

Scary stuff with your brother.
I was csection. It was planned for a March 5th, but I came a week and a half early.

[crossdressingrihno]

I don't know honestly
Disturbingly enough there's actually a website that very accurately describes my birth because my parents were very very excited about my birth for whatever reason and decided to post it on the internet pretty much as it was happening

Yes somewhere out there is a very vivid description of how I was born a long with pictures of me as a baby

I was stillborn but luckily they didn't post pictures of my dead body on the internet

[dustybiker]

Sounds like your parents love you a lot. I’m glad you’re with us.

[crossdressingrihno]

My mom went absolutely bananas later on down the line
Early enough that I never got to know her as a sane person but late enough that no one saw it coming

[crossdressingrihno]

If I'm being honest living with her was a fate worse than death

[dustybiker]

That is terrible. I wish everyone could have a good and stable parents.

[crossdressingrihno]

Unfortunately I only have very watered down versions of emotions these days

[dustybiker]

Sounds normal for someone whose 20. You seem pretty smart to me. You’ll find a way through it.

[crossdressingrihno]

Thanks

[SixFootSexy]

Born naturally, I've heard that people who have a natural birth and not a C-section have better immune systems.

I rarely get sick, so anecdotally it's true for me. Here's the study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25452656/

[Lucy68]

I was born naturally. According to my mother because I had chubby cheeks and it was somewhat too late for them to even perform a C-section I was sucked out. They gave my mother the vacuum that they use to suck the baby out. And well in conclusion I definitely had a conehead for the first few months of my life

[dustybiker]

Sounds like you were happy where you were. Did they make you wear a helmet to reshape?

[Lucy68]

No but I think they should cause it still feels odd up there

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Naturally! I’m actually surprised about that though.



I am a twin, and my mother delivered us naturally. My twin sister came first, and I came second. We were both premie babies, which also isn’t surprising because more than half of all twins are both prematurely. I don’t know the circumstances around my birth, because we’re adopted… However, I know that we were both naturally and we were premie babies.

[dustybiker]

Thanks for sharing that. Interesting to learn more about you.

[HighlyVolatile]

I was born naturally at approximately 7lbs and had lots of hair. Yet my little sister required a C-section. She was an enormous baby over 12.5lbs and almost completely bald. I think she took on more of the white side of the genes on my mother's side.

[HighlyVolatile]

I was apparently an abnormally quiet baby according to my parents, almost never crying. Meanwhile, my sister cried all the time.

[HighlyVolatile]

Also, I apparently shocked my parents because if they reached a hand out to me, apparently I frequently grabbed their hand with my feet with curled toes like a monkey. :-D Maybe that's why I got so into skateboarding.

[dustybiker]

Your sister was 12.5 pounds!! Your mother gave birth to a toddler. 😎
Can definitely see that helping with skateboarding. 😁

[HighlyVolatile]

She was huge although now she's fairly slim. Yet she has fairly broad shoulders and thick wrists by Japanese standards, and her hair and eye color are lighter than mine along with having more rounded eyes (mine are a bit more Asian). A lot of people tend to mistake her for being Hispanic whereas I think most people would be able to tell that I'm at least partially Asian. I don't think anyone could ever guess if we stood next to each other that we were siblings. She also acclimated much more to American culture and actually forgot most of her Japanese.

[dustybiker]

Aw, that’s a shame.

[HighlyVolatile]

She's picking it back up again now. She just recently moved to Japan this year together with her American husband and daughter, and her daughter was also enormous and over 12lbs at birth! She actually looks a lot like my little sister, but even lighter in hair color and so forth; a mix of her husband and her, but with the same rowdy personality and cute love of always being the center of attention. :-D

[HighlyVolatile]

* She [her daughter] actually looks a lot like my little sister [...]

[dustybiker]

Funny how that happens, mother like daughter. I’m glad she’s making an effort to remember her culture.

[HighlyVolatile]

We were somewhat polar opposites in terms of attention. My sister as a child (along with her daughter) would get so cranky if the adults aren't paying attention to them. Meanwhile, I was the type who not only didn't mind but I'd just wander off to secluded areas like in the woods, or in a random store if we were in a shopping mall, and disappear completely from sight as I mentioned before. :-D

[dustybiker]

Sounds a bit like my sister, and you myself. 😎

[HighlyVolatile]

I think I took more after my father with the wandering off and the exploring type of things. He became inspired during WW2 by an American soldier who gave him canned food and then started studying English and left to visit the US with barely any money or possessions as soon as he could. He wanted to venture off far away. I also unfortunately seemed to inherit his love of alcohol which I'm trying to overcome right now.

[dustybiker]

That’s a tough thing to have passed down to you. Sending you strength for that.

[HighlyVolatile]

Cheers! Well, it's probably an excuse to blame genetics for that. I'm just someone who needs to find better things to do than drink to kill boredom. My sister took to weed a lot while living in the US. She smoked weed all the time but gave it up when she got married.

[dustybiker]

It’s genetics, not an excuse. Don’t be hard on yourself. Addictive personalities are a lifelong fight.

[HighlyVolatile]

It helps me a bit to undermine it even if there's a genetic component. It's like regardless of whether I'm more inclined toward such addictions, my responsibilities are still the same as anyone else. So whether it's harder or easier for me to overcome them is of no consequence as I see it in terms of what I need to do. Well, maybe that's an oversimplification but I find that delving into greater complexities and nuances here often tempts me to turn it into an excuse to reach for another drink.

[dustybiker]

That makes sense. Use whatever tools you can to overcome.

[Kaytiee]

Caesarian, my mother had one natural birth and it almost killed her, and my oldest brother, her pelvis was wayyy too small despite my brother being a very light baby. So from then on, all she had was caesarian sections, which if I ever have children (probably won't) I'll do the same.

[DonkeyDan]

Natural, and apparently very painful and difficult birth. Never heard the f**king end of it when I was a child.

[dustybiker]

Aww. So not your fault. Can I kick your mums butt? Just a light tap.. 😁😉

[DonkeyDan]

Moves aside so you can take a run up 😂

[dustybiker]

Yes!!! 😂

[Apple1996]

Naturally and apparently was very nice to my mom since she slept through the majority of her labor and had no pain

[dustybiker]

I wish all woman could have that.

[andreasderjuengere]

VERY natural :)
At home, in my grandmother's bed.
Interesting: my Mom was born in the same bed.

(But they changed sheets, of course)

[dustybiker]

That used to happen a lot.

[andreasderjuengere]

And unless 'complications' are expected, I think that it's still an alternative to think about.
Just a little messy for short. But compared, my do-it-yourself activities aren't any better in ''messyness''.
When I remember the silly ado of the hospital nurses when my own kids were born (cesarian in both cases)
- you know: the ''Hen-house'' syndrome-
it took me a lot of effort to not verbally adjust their attitude.

[dustybiker]

Yeah, had a couple like that when I was looking after my elderly mother.

[andreasderjuengere]

''Nurses'', I reckon?
They mean it well, I think. Still -''we'' live in different worlds...

[SweedyPie]

I was born vaginally.

As far as I know they are both natural. It's definitely not synthetic or artificial. The difference is csection or vaginal. I had one cesarian section for my first child, and one VBAC (vaginal birth after csection).

[dogsteeves]

According to my auntie (Godmother) letter I was natural this is what it said

"It went by so quick all I remember is the nurse calling for the doctor to do the coming in and telling REDACTED not to push and as he went to get his gloves REDACTED came flying out. Doctor picked him up and I got to cut his umbilical cord."

In the actual letter has our names so for privacy I redacted them

[SusanColleen]

Naturally, I had scabs on my head from the forceps….

[dustybiker]

That is just awful..

[SusanColleen]

Thanks for caring sweetie! I had a large head I guess….

[dustybiker]

Maybe, maybe not. That must have been very difficult for your mother too though.
And you’re welcome.

[Tinana]

I’m a triplet so except my mom wanted to pass out while delivering three baby’s she did a CS😂😂😂

[dustybiker]

Oh goodness! 😇😇😇

[Moose304]

I don't know. According to my oldest sister I was found behind a grocery store in a dumpster!

[dustybiker]

😱 I’m so happy you were found!! I hope your life has been happy.

[Moose304]

I don't think my oldest sister was. She kept wanting to take me back!

[dustybiker]

That’s too funny. 😁

[AviatorTom]

My mother told me I was natural, I really don't remember. I was too busy screaming about how cold it was outside my mother's womb.

Our 3 kids were each born planned c-sections.

[call_me_scar]

No idea I couldn't even tell you what hospital I was born in

[dustybiker]

I hope you get the chance to learn that info.

[call_me_scar]

I could if I wanted to but I kinda don't care

[dustybiker]

Ah, okay.

[Luopio27]

I was left to an adoption home from the streets of africa, so o guess im a natural before my black ass was send to finland.

[dustybiker]

Did you have a nice childhood there?

[Luopio27]

I was 1.5 years old when I was adopted. I dont remember those times.

[dustybiker]

Ah, okay.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I am nearly one and a half month premature.
My mom's body was not able to handle me, but she says otherwise.

I am a C section one.

[Iron_Man]

I was born naturally on a US military base in the Azor islands in Portugal

[dustybiker]

Base boy. Nice. 😎

[Iron_Man]

Thank you my dad was a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force

[dustybiker]

Did you like being a military kid?

Several in my family were in the Royal Air Force and other branches too. My father was out of the RAF before he met my mother so didn’t know that life.

[Iron_Man]

Well when I was born I was the youngest child my dad retired soon after and went into the airline business And we moved right to Miami Florida at six months old

[dustybiker]

Ah, gotcha.

[Iron_Man]

Yes…

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

C-section because apparently i didn't want to be evicted from the womb lol.

[Tiptoetamm]

My mother was rushed into surgery after 24 hours of labor to have c section

[katiesmuff]

Two brothers, two sisters and all five of us delivered naturally!

[Drooogie4]

Naturally ish. Aka I was a week late and was vacuum assisted 😂

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

My late Mom told me she labored 24 hours with me, she had an old time doctor, Dr. Bill, back in the days in 1968 but she had me Naturally

[MrTaboo]

I believe my mom got on all fours, did a downward dog, aimed high and shot me out of her baby cannon. Dad was a good catcher.

[DaveToo]

I was natural but both of my daughters were C-sections.

[Bluemax]

C section. My mother got to pick the date I was born on. I was born on my grandparents' golden wedding anniversary.

[Blackcupcake]

natural but early since I was in a rush XD

[dustybiker]

Your poor mother. 😂

[Blackcupcake]

poor me who was trapped!!! hahaha

[Bubbles16]

I'm not 100% sure if this is right but I think my mom told me I came naturally

[NathanDavis]

naturally and promptly as well... the first time

[dustybiker]

Suits your personality. 😎

[EmmaMary]

All three of us girls were born naturally.

[EmmaMary]

Please pardon my rudeness as I neglected to ask about yourself? x

[dustybiker]

My mum was 40 for my sister and 44 for me. We were both “a belly baby” as @TrueConfection put it. For safety. 😎

[EmmaMary]

@dustybiker

I really do love that expression "Belly Baby" from @TrueConfection and certainly one I must try to remember.

[TrueConfection]

I can't take the credit. I really don't know where it came from, but heard it as a kid. It's cute though.

[EmmaMary]

@TrueConfection

Naturally I am hoping that it's not going to be necessary for me to have a "Belly Baby" this coming November... However, I am due for my first trimester this coming Tuesday so I shall be mentioning this to all concerned. x

[EmmaMary]

@TrueConfection

That of course should read... The end of my first trimester... Hope that makes more sense, sorry for any confusion. x

[TrueConfection]

Hey, congratulations!

[EmmaMary]

@TrueConfection

Thank you so much indeed. x

[dustybiker]

@EmmaMary I second the congrats! And agreed. “Belly baby” is much more humanized term. @TrueConfection thanks for sharing it.

[EmmaMary]

@dustybiker

Thank you so very much indeed. x

You are so right, I'm sure anything sounds so much better than "Caesarian Section".

[Anonymous]

I was grown hydroponically in an artificial vagina.

[dustybiker]

Nice. 😎 That would be popular.

[Andres77]

I put on camouflage and snuck out.

[yourmancallsme]

[Emiliamazing]

I was natural and my husband was cesarean section.

[douride2]

As far as I know it was natural.

[Kha0tiic_xo]

I was born naturally, no epidural nothing!

[OddBeMe]

Cut myself out. So I guess self cesarean.

[dustybiker]

I won’t say what I would say.. it’s inappropriate. 😂

[n4meAL]

I was born normal 2004

[n4meAL]

wait I just saw a post on IG that said the baby came out of the pussy not from butthole, hmm... is that true

[meetkitty123]

Born naturally but I have had a C section myself

[Msputiton]

I honestly don't know.
I never thought to ask.

[humpbackjack]

I chose this one because I was born by cesarean

[humanearth]

I really don't know, but I think naturally

[Massageman]

Heck of a natural.

[Cubus]

I'm not sure, but I think naturally
