How was your birth?

It is a known fact that birth and its course can have extreme influence on people´s lives. Do you know how was your birth? Easy or difficult? My was quite delayed because the doctor left my mother waiting too long and was not there when assistance was urgently needed. So I was stuck for a while I think.

I think you are being way too influenced by the things you read or people tell you. Flat head? The way you were born? C'mon.

When i told a doc once about my SA he did ask me if i was a premature baby... premature babies can have some problems, not just physical problems but also mental problems .. so Lea is not making an invalid point

Nah I think the causes are mainly due to environment (for me anyway) as in a lot of cases, my SA developed as I grew older. I used to actually be outgoing! Surprised

I dunno though, the causes are bound to be different in different people

Oddly enough, I don't remember my birth!

I was born prematurely and with only half a functioning lung. My whole body was infected and I've heard that all my blood needed to be gradually replaced. Basically, everyone thought that I was dead for sure.

I'm sure that it has had some relatively major effects on me through life. I really doubt that the effects could be pin-pointed though. Sure, a rough birth doesn't mean that you will have SA, but I think that it must have some sort of effect on a developing human brain. Our brains are delicate enough later on in our lives, let alone while we are just being born.

Do you have fingernails? I heard that having fingernails is the cause of constipation on african-american babies.
