Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
I am going to be the BIG 3-0 a week from today--December 26th!
My mom always talks about it on Christmas, how she knew when she went to bed that night, that she was going to go into labor...
She remembers waking up at 11:59 on Christmas night and calling her sister to come stay with my brother who was just 2 years old. My aunt came, and my parents rushed out of the house---and by 2:45 AM they were holding their daughter in their arms! I wasted NO TIME entering the world!
Do you have any stories about your birth that your parents relive when you have a birthday?

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
Yes, my mom likes to remind me that not only was I over 2 weeks late but that she was in labor for days with me, while my brother was on time and almost no labor. "I had lunch, I had Michael, I had dinner!"
Then I remind her that I may have been a pain in the rear in the beginning, I'm not the reason she's gray now.

Yeah, my mom was so doped up on demerol that she thought there were 2 of me
her first words were "oh, they're so cute" right before the nurse handed me to her

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
Yes, my mom always tell me that I was the first baby to be born on Christmas morning in the hospital and that I was born breech vaginally. She said that the doctor who delivered told her to name me Noelle because I was the first to be born that morning.

My siblings always remind me that they went to my aunts and uncles and had fish and green beans for dinner the night I was born.

I knew a girl that was a surprise twin. She was always disappointed with her name and I always thought hers was really pretty (sorry to say prettier than her sisters). She was Kimberly and her sister was Regina.

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
My parents tell me the story every year on my birthday, and so does my godfather. He's the one who drove my parents to the hospital because my dad was too freaked out to drive, so his version of the story is much funnier than my parents'.

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
Ohhhh yes- my mother LOVES lamenting about how she was "In hard labor for 56 hours and ended up with a c-section"
Ohhh I am SOO not looking forward to a long labor. I hope that isn't hereditary!

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
Yes! My Mom went into labor and my Dad was having surgery on his back in a different hospital. My Aunt and grandmother went with my Mom. My Dad's doctors told him he was having a baby when wheeling him into the OR. Because he was under light anesthesia (whatever it is they give you to make you loopy before the real stuff) he freaked out thinking they thought he was the one having a baby!

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
My parents were super young when they had me 118 and 19. My mom tells me all the time how happy she was to have a baby for Xmas. (Dec 10th)
She does bring up the fact that my dad went home and got drunk because he was so worried about my head! I had a
MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR CONE HEAD!!
He had no clue that was what could happen coming through the canal!

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
Yes... my mom got to the hospital at 3:45 pm and I was born at 3:56pm
My mom didn't even have a hospital gown on yet, she was in the elevator on a stretcher and my dad was parking the car
The dr told her to push and my mom said she couldn't bc she had to wait for my dad who was parking the car
He came into the room just as my they were carrying me away...He missed my birth and I always give him a hard time about it! LOL
Every year at 4p I get a call from my parents --- and sometimes they are not together, so one is on the phone with me and the other beeps in...I finally told them they do not have to call me the exact moment I was born every year
Even my friend at work says...oh it is 4, your parents should be calling soon!

my mom always remembers that I was born on the hottest day in NYC history for April... It was close to 95 degrees. Needless to say, it was a miserable day for her!

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
How it was January 30, 1976 and there was a huge snowstorm going on. Also, my great grandpa was buried that day so my mom was without much family, since everyone was at the funeral.
Everyone was happy when i was born. Also, they tell me about how a bad flu season was going on...my dad shows me pics of how he made all my visitors wear masks.

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
I was born on a beautiful 80 degree day in March. 3 days later brought home in a snow storm with about a foot of snow. She tells me they were all shoveling so they could bring me home.
Also, my dad was in PA at a Bar Mitzvah and couldn't be reached. He wasn't there for the birth. Mom was doped up and the doc pressed on her stomach to get me out. She says she did nothing but couldn't sit afterward.
The doctor gave my dad a hard time because he wasn't there but I was 2 weeks early. The doc even told him to go, so why was he so pizzed?
Another ironic situation. My dad was at my cousin's Bar Mitzvah in PA. So I was born on his Bar Mitzvah. Years later I was married on his wedding anniversary.

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
My parents always remind me that they ate pizza the night before my mom went into labor...and I was born at 2:49am.
Coincidentally, DH and I had pizza the night before I went into labor with DD#1. When DD#2 ended up being a scheduled c-section, we decided to continue the tradition and we had pizza the night before she was born.
Also, speaking of "Christmasy" names....my mom's b-day is 12/23 and her name is Carol...Christmas Carol...get it?!!

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
I was born 10 months after my brother... I also have a brother who is 2 years older than me, so I was the 3rd in 3.5 years. I think mom was just happy I was a girl (my 2 older sibs are brothers).

Re: Did your parents tell you any "story" about when you were born?
Yes, my mom almost died when she gave birth to me because her idiot of her doctor left part of the placenta inside and it caused her an infection, i had to go right away to an incubator because i couldn't breath so it was definitely not a positive thing
