Experience Before Birth?

[Guest EvenClose]

Was just sitting around at work today being bored and thought, I wonder if anyone ever had their parents comment about odd things before birth?

I remember my parents telling me that the doctors thought i was a female untill i was born because of my higher heartrate and body temp. Just wondered if anyone else had any experiences like this?

[Guest audrey michelle]

ehhh! my mom thought she would only have girls after my sister was born (i was born right after her). and my mom said that she knew she would cry a lot for me when i was in the womb, soo. similar but ehh!

It was not an experience before birth, but my parents expected that I should have been a girl, needless to say I was a disappointment them, and I really wonder the fact that I crossdress 24/7 and that I want to live as a woman, has any to do from when I was born??

My mother took DES which was supposed to prevent miscarriages (It didn't after all). It was a extremely powerful artificial estrogen that has been proven to cause transgenderism in animal studies. I was lucky enough to be visiting my mother in 1978 when a tv program came on about all the medical problems that it caused in the children whose mothers took it and Mother told me she had taken it when carrying me. Since there are numerous problems that carry down for future generations such as an increased cancer risk I am very glad I found out.

Another DES kid here. My mother was also unwed, alienated from her family, and had been abandoned by her boyfriend so I can only imagine the stress.

i was some what a miracle baby from the start. my mom was on birth control . when i was concieved . i also survived the brutal beatings my dad gave my mom . while she was pregnant with me . she even jumped from a moving car to get away from him . shortly after that . she started bleeding. like she was on her period. for the first 6 months. she was carrying me. the doctor she was seeing . told her that she miscarried . and wanted to. go threw the steps of an abortion. she wouldnt have it . cause she had already miscarried twice before me. so she continued to carry me. even if i was still born. she left my dad a few months later . and all her bleeding stopped. up till that point . they had not been able to get a heart beat on me. when she went to get another ultra sound the nurse. and dr told her she was just getting a picture of a dead baby. but as soon as the fired up the machine . there i was .

i pulled my foot up . and stuck it in my mouth for the first picture. but when they tried to move around to get a picture of my sex. i pulled my my legs in. and covered my self up . they tried two more ultrasounds before. i was born but evey time they tried to look. i covered it up. and never got a clear view of it. so they didn't even know what. i was going to be. so my mom picked out. two names then shortly after. i was born. the little onesies that they put you in to take your first picture. that are pink or blue . well some mix up happened . not sure what . and my first picture was taken in a pink one. my grand dad had a fit and it was taken right. but. i still have. both pics and both onesies

so much wierd stuff happend. it would be hard to pin . down any that. i thought would made me transgendered. or been a sign of it.

Throughout the pregnancy, the doctor told my parents that they were expecting a son. When I was born he was completely shocked I was, in fact, a girl.

My parents already had a boy's name picked out in honor of my great grandfather, so they just modify it.

Well my mom had been given DES for both of her pregnancies and also had to deal with my father yelling and screaming at her during the time she carried me. Both my sister and I are very gender confused. My sister is an extreme tomboy and I was always a very sensitive and very girly boy to the point my Mom called me by Patricia my entire life up to the point I came out as trans. What bites is they didn't get it fully and are still fully against my transition and I'm four years in.

My mom was told I was a girl. I know it hurt when I was born because she didn't get her daughter she wanted. She was unable to have anymore kids after me. I will be letting her know soon she always did have her daughter.

[Guest Katrina Reann]

Well, I didn't breat for 5 minutes after I was born. I was a premmie by 3 weeks. I guess I knew my body wasn't right at the moment of birth and held my breath hoping it would change...lol...Huggsss

My mother is 89, so even tho I have asked her, and she is very alert and active, and she said she doesn't remember taking anything particular, I also suspect in that in 1946-47, that a lot of expectant mothers didn't ask when a doctor prescribed certain pills, they just trusted the doctor immensely to do the right thing.

I do believe that my parents probably if pinned down, and without trying to cause any problems or have hurt feelings, hoped a tiny bit I would be a girl, because I already had an older brother, and my mother's older sister had already had a boy, then a girl. The dream of the nuclear family - father, mother, 2.3 children. penis,Jane, and Sally with Spot and Puff running around the yard. I just found out my mother had a miscarriage in her second month when I was 2, so I think I got 'mothered' a lot more.

When I came out to her this past week, I sort of hoped she might have some tidbit of my early life to share that may have given a clue, but there was nothing particular. I just am what I am.

My mom thought that I was going to be a girl. She said she could just feel it. I guess she was right, in a way.

[Guest Distort]

My mother never really wanted any children, it was my father who convinced her to try for one, and he'd always wanted a boy.

As far as I'm aware, there's was nothing odd about my mum's pregnancy, but I'm reasonably certain they didn't find out my gender until I was born.

I just tend to think that my father's wishes for a son rubbed off on unborn-me. And heck, it made him happy having a 'tom-boy daughter'.

On a side-note, during my birth, my doctor was coming and going between the hospital and his home, because he was painting his fence, and the doctor who was supposed to be working that day had buggered off to play golf

Don't know if this counts, but I was literally a prayer baby...

My mom had a total of 5 miscarriages (before and after) so she prayed to have a child, that she would devote to holy work, and here I am. Funny thing is, I am doing "holy work" of a sort.

Add to that, being born on Mothers Day, and I'm kinda pretty special...
