I saw my first up close birth of a baby.

[Mags]

My cousin had a C-section with her twin boys...They were very tiny compared to other babies...and the doctor didn't think they would make it with a regular birth...and it was decided early into her pregnance that she would have a C-section...thank God for modern technology....but my mother wasn't so lucky. Back in Armenia, my mom was having twins and the cord was wrapped around BOTH of their necks...If that had happened here, they would have made it. Two years later, my sister and I were born (we're twins also) and I was breach born...I think that's what it's called...when the baby comes out feet first. The doctor had to literally stick his hand inside my mom and turn me around...my mom almost died from major infection....but everything turned out well....

Eek. Wow, that's incredible! So you're a twin? HOW CUTE!! I'm glad your mom made it. I don't know if you were born in Armenia, but the doctors and hospitals there are just disgusting. My mom had 2 kids in Iran, and 2 in Armenia. She tells me stories of how my dad had to PAY THE NURSES to change my mom's bedsheets because they were so filthy. I dunno, maybe the hospital that my mom went to was a bad one, but I hear that from a lot of people. How sad.

There's another girl out there that looks like you? Twins? <faints>

Yes, I was born in Armenia...didn't stay long though, we came to the US when I was only about 9 months old...I don't remember anything at all :/ kinda sad actually

And no, my twin and I don't look anything alike...we're faternal twins....Violette, you've seen her, I think we came by the store one time...she's a lot shorter than me, dark hair, hazel eyes...ok, I think I just described half of Glendale =)

Haha.. I don't remember seeing her. Maybe if I see her again, it'll spark a memory. I wish I still worked there. The Armenian customers were great, coming in there with their first Nextel bill for $1000!! HAHA

Yea, the hospitals in Armenia were sick. My mom says that women have it so easy now. They had no epidurals!!! That means....OMG they had to go through the entire birth without medication! I would simply die.

Ok, so I'm the only one disgusted by this thread.
Everyone can rest assured that there won't be any lil' debutantes running around in this world. Yes, you're all welcome.

Yeah, I'd say one per planet is enough.

Tell me this is a joke. Please? You know some women prefer not to be drugged, even nowadays. WOW!
