I was born at home, Im a twin, we were six weeks early… luckily enough a neighbour was a midwife so she came and helped out and another male neighbour went off to find a poilceman in his car because none of us in the neighbourhood had a phone. ---

“Did you see the story of the woman who gave birth in a _tree_ in the floods in Mozambique? You know, when I think I’m having a bad day…” - Kate Clinton BTW, the only thing at all interesting about my and my brother’s births is that they have since demolished the hospital. ---

I was born at home. My father and a midwife. I was taken to the doctor a week later to be checked and registered. It was 1937, and not too unusual. * * * Spelling and grammer subject to change with out notice. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-are-the-born-at-home-dopers/214479.md?page=1)
