Considering I have no children and I get nauseous at the sight of of blood; I do not have any experiences with child birth, aside from my own birth. This is why I have chosen this particular event.
From what I hear my delivery was high-risk and almost cost my mother her life. I was born two weeks late and had moved my bowels inside my mother's stomach. Due to this complication my mother was rushed into surgery for a c-section. I was delivered in a hospital (controlled environment) near my parents' house. This is important because presence of medical attention and a controlled environment increased the probability that my mother and I would successfully make it through my birth. Also contributing to the birthing experience was the fact that my father and grandmother were there to emotionally support my mother through the process of labor and delivery.
All of the factors mentioned above have contributed to my development. My parents have had a family support system to help raise me and my brother. My grandparents and extended family have been with us through the years helping in any way. This has led to a strong family bond. I am very close to my family and rely on them for support in good times and bad. If my parents did not have a stable family to lean on, my mother might have experienced depression and they would have had a difficult time paying for child care. There are many factors that could have adversely affected how I developed as a child. Since there was proper medical attention from my mother and me, I was delivered a healthy 6 lbs. on February 3rd.
