first let me say, i have never forgotten being born...it was so traumatic, how could i have NOT remembered!
i do have a pre-birth memory=sitting at a table reading/writing something.i felt very determined because this was very important(whatever it was).
then i am seeing a hand(neither male or female) holding mine.i stare at the hand until i have to let go, to come here.i didnt want to forget the hand.i didnt want to let go.(this makes me cry as i type it)
=================================================
so i wake up..im in a place that is warm.i feel around me and find smooth walls...i am in here for so very long.the beginning was not bad at all.
i continually felt around me when i was awake, feeling for any difference on the walls.i remember swiping with my hands...i can still remember the feel of the fleshy walls, so smooth.
i slept alot...i was very very bored in there!(this makes me laugh as i was extremely bored)
at one point the heat got bad...i couldnt cool off and the only way to avoid the heat was to go to sleep.
i could see a faint red light sometimes and hear voices...but it was too garbled and soft to understand anything.my mother sang alot.
my back started hurting...i wanted to stretch out but i was cramped and couldnt move much.i remember my back hurting alot...if i could have cried i would, as such i tried to sleep to escape.
i kept feeling around me, nothing much else to do...one day i felt a spot, it was different.it had an indentation.
i put my finger in it and i guess my mother jumped or didnt like it.i figured out i was NOT to touch that spot...but i did anyway.i found the spot got bigger as time went on.
now the heat is getting to me, i cant sleep anymore and i cant get out.i dont know how much longer ill have to stay here.
my back hurt so much!
i felt for the spot...it was the only thing around me to give me something to focus on..the boredom was persisitent.(imagine a tiny baby being BORED! lol its true!)
i pushed it with my fingers and kept pushing it...it got noticable softer and bigger as time went on.
at one point i knew it was my way OUT! it was going to open up and let me out...i just had to wait until it was ready....the waiting was so long!
birth came...i felt the opening and it was actually an OPENING!i psuhed through again and again until it finally was wide enough...i had to get OUT!
birth happened fast.
the fire was terrible! my whole body burned!
it was so painful going through this fire (squeezing?).
then i was out. and i went back to sleep because i was spent.i think i even heard my mother scream or cry out, but thats fuzzy.
i woke up as they were placing me on my belly...facedown but they laid me right on my face! i couldnt breathe! it took every ounce of energy to turn my face ever so slightly to the right, so i could get air through that side of my nose.i almost wasnt able to.
after a small amount of time, they woke me up and tried to feed me from a bottle.
i did not want a bottle, i wanted something else.they kept forcing the bottle between my lips but i refused it.my tummy hurt bad, but i tasted that stuff and it was AWFUL!it was NOT what i wanted!
when the pain became too intense, i DID drink it.it tasted very bad at first, but after a while, the taste became bearable and my tummy felt better.
(to this day i have some trouble with food and eating-i just dont care for it, but thats a subject in itself)
my father says i almost died when i was an infant.. the hospital had me in a crib under the window where the sunlight shone on me. (i was allergic to the sun then, he said).
my father said i was almost dead when he came to see me, he found several (10)diapers placed over the top of soiled diapers, (a nurse lost her job over the treatment i was given).he scooped me up and took me home while the nurses were arguing with him that he wasnt allowed.he told them i would die at home in his arms rather than alone in a crib.
i do remember that drive home, looking at him in the light from the dials of the trucks cab.hes amazed i remember it.
i slept alot after this point.i even remember dreams from those infant days.
over the years, i think about being born, so i DONT forget.ive asked people if they remember being born, but no one ever does.how can you forget something like that?thats what i want to know.
do any of you have birth memories?id love to hear them...
