Tell us what you know about your birth story (as in, your mother giving birth to you).
I saw this on another Month club and thought it was such a cool topic.
My mother said I was born still in the sac (amniotic sac). The only one out of her 4 children that was like that! I was a tiny little "corn" and she had my vaginally & med free.

I was purple and not breathing when I was born
Was 6am and a Thursday .
I was born in 1977 so things were very very different even from what 80s pregnant ladies probably went through. (Side note: my mother was a labor & delivery RN before she had me, so she did the L&D floor 1973 - 1976 or so and has all the stories on 70s birth.) I was 3 weeks late...was supposed to be November 22-ish and was born December 8. But I was only 8 lbs 11 oz and I came out with normal skin etc., not overdue seeming, so my theory is that they had my mother's dates wrong. I know that she went into labor naturally and that they had to do an emergency c-section at 10 AM after being in the hospital all night and that she had a spinal. She's barely 5 feet tall and 100 lbs at that time and I think her body was just too small to deliver naturally. Also, I was her first, and she had to have scheduled c-sections for my sister and brother after that. Cool fact is that my sister was born in the same room 20 months later, and then my niece was born in that same room 20 years later.
She didn't get to see me until the day after when my dad wheeled me up from the nursery.

my parents always say how lucky we are to have all the technologies we have now a day. We get to know the gender early on and be more prepared. My parents had to wait till we were born to know what they were getting lol
