Where were you Born?

Lost in Texas
Thought it might be interesting if people shared where they were born and any unusual circumstances. For instance, I was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma in the hospital parking lot, I guess I was in a hurry to enter the world.

Born in Beech Grove, Indiana, south side of Indianapolis. Didn't breathe for over 2 minutes & was in an incubator for 2 days.

I was born in Chillicothe, Ohio. Chillicothe is the name the Injuns called the place...it means Beautiful Valley...not sure what tribe...Delaware, Adena, Shawnee or Hopewell....all four lived in the area at various times.

Unusual facts of my birth: I was my parents' 3rd child. I was 3 weeks late. My mother was in labor for 3 days. Delivery took 3 hours. The umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck 3 times. I was purple from lack of oxygen....and nearly died 3 times. I did not go home until I was 3 weeks old.

Oh, one thing that I forgot to add that any of you who have read my seemingly endless array of mindless drivel posts may find interesting...I had severe speech and language problems as a child. Stuttering, verbal and visual dyslexia and I was painfully shy. 4 years of intense speech therapy got me talking and reading/writing properly....and I have not shut up or stopped writing since.

Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge at the flags of the US and Canada:unitedstates::canada: Nothing beats born in Two Nations mom was Canadian and dad was US. In a twist I am also a dual born citizen of both nations.
 
Hey All,

I was born in the hospital on the Ft Monmouth Army base in Ft Monmouth, NJ. The Doctor was a Major the attending nurse a Captain. I guess that makes me an Army brat. :salute: Couple months later I was at Fort Huachuca AZ - a few months after that my Dad was out of the Army. I have always maintained that since I was born on "federal" property I can claim any state I want as home and so I am not an easterner but a westerner "born" and bred :bump:

Guess I was always born a hick.
Born is Fresno, California 1967... before the hole people identify it as today.

My parents living there because Dad was a charter pilot for Lamb Air.:wiggle:
 
Dad was a Marine on isolated duty in Kodiak Alaska, so mom stayed with her folks out in the country in SW Arkansas that year. Grandpa and them went fishing one weekend down in the Red River bottoms and left mom at the house by herself. By Saturday evening they decided that the fish weren't biting and came back home to find mom in labor. So they hauled her to Texarkana and I was born in the old St Micheals Hospital about a block from the Texas state line. If the fish had been biting, I'd have been born at home.

The hospital is now a minimum security prison for first time non-violent drug offenders.
